What is Color Converter?

Color Converter translates a colour value between hexadecimal, RGB and HSL notation and shows a live swatch. It is used when a brand guideline supplies one format, a design tool exports another, and your stylesheet expects a third.

How to use it

  1. 1Type or paste a colour in HEX, RGB or HSL notation.
  2. 2The tool detects the format automatically.
  3. 3Read the equivalent values in every other notation.
  4. 4Copy the format your stylesheet or design file needs.

Features

  • Automatic input format detection
  • HEX, RGB and HSL output plus a rendered swatch
  • Three and six digit hex both accepted

When people use it

Translating a brand palette

Print guidelines usually give HEX. Building a themeable stylesheet is easier in HSL, where you adjust lightness without touching hue.

Debugging a mismatch

When a rendered colour looks wrong, converting the computed RGB back to HEX confirms quickly whether the value or the opacity is at fault.
