Color Converter (HEX, RGB, HSL)
Convert colors between HEX, RGB, and HSL formats with a live preview swatch.
About this tool
Enter a color in any common format — HEX (#7c3aed), RGB (124, 58, 237), or HSL (263, 84%, 58%) — and get it converted to all the others instantly, with a live preview swatch and one-click copy for each format.
HEX is the compact web standard, RGB maps directly to how screens emit light, and HSL is the most human-friendly for adjusting hue, saturation, and lightness — designers constantly translate between all three.
Common uses
- Convert a brand HEX code to HSL to create lighter/darker variants
- Translate design-tool RGB values into CSS-ready HEX
- Explore a color's hue and saturation before adjusting it
Frequently asked questions
Why prefer HSL when designing?
HSL separates what humans perceive: hue (the color), saturation (intensity), and lightness. Making a hover state 10% darker is one lightness tweak in HSL, but non-obvious math in HEX or RGB.
What about alpha (transparency)?
Add an alpha channel in CSS with rgba(), hsla(), or 8-digit HEX (#7c3aedcc). This tool focuses on the opaque color; append the alpha in your CSS as needed.
