Complete color conversion tool
A comprehensive color converter that translates between HEX, RGB, and HSL formats, featuring a visual color picker and intuitive sliders for precise adjustments.
Understanding color formats
HEX codes are the most common web format, using six hexadecimal digits to represent red, green, and blue channels (e.g., #3B82F6).
RGB specifies color using three values from 0-255 for Red, Green, and Blue components, ideal for direct color manipulation.
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is more intuitive for humans - adjust hue to change color, saturation for vibrancy, and lightness for brightness.
When to use each format
Use HEX for CSS and design specifications due to its compact notation.
RGB is preferred when calculating color blends or working with image processing.
HSL shines when creating color variations - keeping hue constant while adjusting saturation and lightness creates harmonious palettes.
