Formula

HEX #RRGGBB = RGB(R, G, B) = HSL(H°, S%, L%)

  1. 1Pick a color using the visual picker or enter a value in any format (HEX, RGB, HSL).
  2. 2HEX to RGB: Each pair of hex digits is converted to a decimal value (00–FF → 0–255).
  3. 3RGB to HSL: The algorithm calculates hue (0–360°), saturation (0–100%), and lightness (0–100%).
  4. 4All three formats are displayed simultaneously and update in real time.
  5. 5Click any value to copy it to your clipboard.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

HEX is a 6-digit hexadecimal code (#FF5733). RGB defines color by Red, Green, Blue values (0–255). HSL uses Hue (color wheel degree), Saturation, and Lightness percentages. They all describe the same colors differently.

Which color format should I use?

HEX is most common in web design. RGB is standard for digital screens. HSL is easiest for humans to understand and adjust (e.g., making a color lighter or more saturated).

How do I find the perfect color for my design?

Start with HSL — pick a hue you like, then adjust saturation (vibrancy) and lightness. This is more intuitive than modifying individual RGB or HEX values.
