Understanding Color Codes

In web design, colors are represented by codes that computers can interpret. The three most common formats are HEX, RGB, and HSL. Our tool allows you to convert between them instantly.

HEX (Hexadecimal): A 6-digit code (e.g., #FF0000) representing Red, Green, and Blue values in base 16. It is the most common format for CSS.
RGB (Red, Green, Blue): An additive color model where colors are created by mixing red, green, and blue light. Values range from 0-255.
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness): A cylindrical coordinate system that represents colors in a way more intuitive to humans: what color is it (Hue), how vivid is it (Saturation), and how bright is it (Lightness).

How to Use This Color Picker

Finding the perfect color for your website or graphic design project is easy with this tool.

Visual Selection: Click on the rainbow bar to select the base Hue (color). Then click inside the box to adjust Saturation (intensity) and Lightness (brightness).
Fine Tuning: Use the RGBA sliders below the visual picker to make precise adjustments. The 'A' slider controls Opacity (transparency).
Get the Code: Once you are happy with the color, simply click the copy icon next to the HEX, RGB, or HSL code to paste it into your CSS or design software.
