Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL?
HEX (like #6366F1) is a compact hexadecimal shorthand for red, green, and blue values, popular in CSS and design tools. RGB (rgb(99, 102, 241)) expresses the same red/green/blue channels as plain 0-255 numbers. HSL (hsl(239, 84%, 67%)) describes color by hue, saturation, and lightness, which is often more intuitive when you want to lighten, darken, or desaturate a color by hand.
Can I use this for CSS?
Yes. Every value shown — the HEX code, the rgb()/rgba() string, and the hsl()/hsla() string — is valid CSS syntax you can paste directly into a stylesheet, inline style, or design tool.
Does it support alpha/transparency?
Yes. Use the opacity slider to add transparency. The HEX output automatically switches to an 8-digit hex code (e.g. #6366F180), and the RGB/HSL outputs switch to rgba()/hsla() with the alpha value included.
How is HSL calculated from RGB?
The converter finds the maximum and minimum of the red, green, and blue channels to determine lightness, derives saturation from how far apart the max and min are, and computes hue based on which channel is dominant. It's the same standard algorithm browsers use internally, run entirely in your browser's JavaScript.
What are the tint and shade swatches for?
They're quick variations of your current color at different lightness levels — useful for building hover states, borders, or a small color scale without leaving the page. Click any swatch to make it the active color.
Is my color data uploaded anywhere?
No. All conversion and color math happens locally in your browser via JavaScript. Nothing is sent to a server.

Why designers switch between HEX, RGB, and HSL

HEX codes are the default in most design tools and CSS because they're short and easy to paste around, but they don't tell you much at a glance — #6366F1 gives no obvious clue about how light, dark, or saturated the color is. RGB is more explicit, expressing the same color as separate red, green, and blue intensities from 0 to 255, which is handy when you're blending colors or matching a value from an image editor's eyedropper tool.

HSL makes manual adjustments easier

HSL (hue, saturation, lightness) tends to be the most intuitive format when you're tweaking a color by hand. Want a lighter version of your brand color for a hover state? Just raise the lightness value and keep hue and saturation fixed — something that's far from obvious when adjusting raw RGB numbers. That's exactly how this tool builds its shade and tint swatches: by holding hue and saturation steady and stepping lightness up and down.
