About color formats

HEX codes represent color as a six-digit hexadecimal value, commonly used in CSS and design tools. RGB expresses color as red, green, and blue intensity values from 0-255. HSL describes color by hue (the color itself, 0-360°), saturation, and lightness — often more intuitive for adjusting a color's shade or brightness.

Type or paste a value into any field, or use the color picker, and the other two formats update automatically.

When each format is useful

HEX is compact and the most common format in web design. RGB is useful when you need to reason about individual color channels, such as in image processing. HSL is often easier for creating consistent color palettes, since adjusting lightness or saturation while keeping hue fixed produces predictable, related shades.
