Color Converter

Convert colors between HEX, RGB, and HSL — synced live.

About this tool

Converts a color between HEX, RGB, and HSL formats, synced live with a visual picker and preview swatch — useful when a design tool gives you one format but your CSS needs another.

Frequently asked questions

Why would I use HSL instead of HEX or RGB?

HSL separates a color's hue, saturation, and lightness into independent values, which makes it much easier to create consistent variants of a color — e.g. a lighter or more muted version — by adjusting just one number, rather than recalculating all three RGB channels.

Does this support alpha/transparency values?

Not currently — it converts between opaque HEX, RGB, and HSL only. For transparency, you'd add an alpha channel (RGBA/HSLA or an 8-digit HEX) manually to whichever format you're using in your CSS.
