Color Converter - HEX RGB HSL Converter

All conversion happens in your browser. No data is sent to our servers.

Design and front - end work often needs the same color in different formats (HEX, RGB, HSL). Converting by hand is slow and error - prone, especially when you need exact values for CSS, design tools, or handoff docs.

Convert colors between HEX, RGB, and HSL formats instantly. Pick colors and get all format codes.

Why you may need this tool

Design and development use multiple color representations: HEX, RGB(A), and HSL are common, and the same color can look different if values are converted incorrectly or alpha/transparency is missed. When building themes or implementing design systems, accurate conversion is important for consistency. A converter helps you translate a color into the format required by your workflow while preserving the intended appearance.

How to use

Enter a color in one format and confirm the converted values in the other formats before applying them in code or design tools.

  1. Enter a color in HEX, RGB, or HSL format
  2. Or use the color picker to select a color
  3. View all format conversions instantly
  4. Copy the format you need

Examples

Turning a HEX design token into CSS RGBA
Design systems often provide HEX tokens, but implementation may require alpha transparency. Converting to RGBA helps you apply the same base color with the needed opacity.
Adjusting theme variants using HSL
HSL is useful for building consistent light/dark variants. Convert to HSL to adjust lightness and saturation while keeping hue stable.

Benefits & differentiators

Accurate conversion reduces “almost the same but slightly off” issues during implementation. It also speeds up collaboration between designers and developers by providing a shared reference. For theming work, viewing colors in HSL can make it easier to adjust brightness and saturation systematically while maintaining consistent hue relationships.

Who this is for

Recommended if you: - implement UI colors from design tokens - need alpha/transparency values for overlays - build theming systems with consistent variants - want quick conversions across common formats

FAQ

What color formats are supported?
We support HEX (#RRGGBB), RGB (rgb(r,g,b)), RGBA (with alpha), HSL (hsl(h,s%,l%)), and HSLA formats.
Can I use the color picker?
Yes, click the color picker to visually select any color. All formats will be calculated and displayed automatically.
What's the difference between RGB and HEX?
They represent the same colors differently. HEX uses hexadecimal (#FF5733), RGB uses decimal values (rgb(255,87,51)). Both are commonly used in web development.
When should I use HSL?
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is great when you want to create color variations. It's easier to create lighter/darker shades by adjusting the L value.
Is my data private?
Yes. All conversion happens locally in your browser. No data is sent to our servers.
