What is the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL?

HEX (#rrggbb) is a compact hexadecimal representation used in CSS and HTML. RGB expresses each channel as a 0-255 integer. HSL (hue, saturation, lightness) is the most human-intuitive format for creating color variations.

How do I add transparency (alpha) to a color?

Use the rgba() or hsla() CSS functions which add a fourth alpha channel (0=fully transparent, 1=fully opaque). HEX also supports 8-digit notation with alpha in modern browsers.

Can I use this tool to get the color code from a screenshot?

Not directly from a screenshot, but you can use your OS color picker or a browser extension to sample a pixel, then paste the HEX code here to get RGB and HSL equivalents.

What is a Color Converter?

A color converter translates color values between the different formats used in web design, graphic design, and print production. The three most common web color formats are HEX (e.g. #3498db), RGB (e.g. rgb(52, 152, 219)), and HSL (e.g. hsl(204, 70%, 53%)). Each represents the same color but in a different notation that different tools, languages, and workflows prefer.

Web developers switch to HEX for HTML/CSS shorthand, use RGB when they need to apply opacity with rgba(), and reach for HSL when they want to programmatically adjust lightness or saturation. Graphic designers copying a hex code from Figma or Photoshop may need it in RGB for a specific platform. Our tool handles all conversions instantly including a live color preview and the corresponding CSS variable.

How to Use the Color Converter

Click the color picker to visually select any color — all fields update automatically.
Or type a HEX value (e.g. #ff6600) and click Convert.
Or type an RGB value (e.g. rgb(255, 102, 0)) and click Convert.
Or type an HSL value (e.g. hsl(24, 100%, 50%)) and click Convert.
Click the copy icon next to any field to copy that format to your clipboard.

HEX (#rrggbb) is a compact hexadecimal representation used widely in CSS and HTML. RGB (red, green, blue) expresses each channel as a 0–255 integer, making it easy to mix channels programmatically. HSL (hue, saturation, lightness) is the most human-intuitive — you adjust the hue angle (0–360°) and the saturation/lightness percentages to get predictable color variations.

Use the rgba() or hsla() CSS functions, which add a fourth alpha channel (0 = fully transparent, 1 = fully opaque). For example: rgba(52, 152, 219, 0.5) is the same blue at 50% opacity. HEX also supports 8-digit notation with alpha (e.g. #3498dbcc) in modern browsers.

Because you can keep the hue constant and vary only lightness and saturation to create harmonious shades. For example, hsl(210, 70%, 30%), hsl(210, 70%, 50%), and hsl(210, 70%, 70%) are dark, mid, and light variants of the same blue — perfect for design systems and CSS variables.

Not directly from a screenshot — but you can use your operating system's color picker or a browser extension to sample the color from any pixel on your screen, then paste the HEX code into this tool to get the RGB and HSL equivalents.
