Color Converter

Color Converter

The Color Picker & Converter lets you pick a color visually and translate it between the formats front-end developers use every day — HEX, RGB and HSL — with a live preview. Click the swatch to open the picker, or, on supported browsers, use the screen eyedropper to grab any color from your display. HEX is compact, RGB maps to channels, and HSL makes lightness and saturation tweaks intuitive.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a color picker?
Yes — click the swatch to open a visual color picker, and on supported browsers use the eyedropper to grab any color from your screen.
Which formats are supported?
HEX (#rrggbb), RGB (rgb(r,g,b)) and HSL (hsl(h,s%,l%)). Pick or paste any of them and the others update instantly.
Does it support alpha?
This converter focuses on opaque colors; for alpha you can append it to the HEX (#rrggbbaa) in most browsers.

Developer notes

HSL is great for generating shades: keep hue and saturation, adjust lightness. Remember CSS hex is #RRGGBB (or #RGB shorthand), and HSL hue is in degrees (0–360).
