Understanding Color Formats

HEX (Hexadecimal)

The most common color format on the web. HEX colors are represented as #RRGGBB where each pair of characters represents the intensity of Red, Green, and Blue (0-255 or 00-FF in hexadecimal).

Example: #FF0000 (pure red)

Also supports shorthand: #F00 (equivalent to #FF0000)

RGB / RGBA (Red, Green, Blue)

Represents colors as a combination of Red, Green, and Blue light values (0-255). RGBA adds an Alpha channel for transparency (0-1, where 0 is fully transparent and 1 is fully opaque).

RGB: rgb(255, 0, 0) - pure red

RGBA: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5) - semi-transparent red

HSL / HSLA (Hue, Saturation, Lightness)

A more intuitive color model for humans. Hue is the color (0-360°), Saturation is the intensity (0-100%), and Lightness is the brightness (0-100%). HSLA adds transparency like RGBA.

HSL: hsl(0, 100%, 50%) - pure red

HSLA: hsla(0, 100%, 50%, 0.5) - semi-transparent red

💡 HSL is often preferred by designers because it's easier to understand and adjust colors intuitively.

Frequently Asked Questions

What color formats are supported?

We support HEX (#RRGGBB), RGB (rgb(r,g,b)), RGBA (rgba(r,g,b,a)), HSL (hsl(h,s%,l%)), and HSLA (hsla(h,s%,l%,a)). You can input any of these formats and convert to any other format instantly.

Is my data saved or collected?

No. Everything runs in your browser. Your colors never leave your device. The recent colors history is stored only in your browser's memory and is cleared when you close the page.

Can I input colors in different ways?

Yes! You can type HEX codes with or without the # symbol, RGB values in the format rgb(255,0,0), or HSL values in the format hsl(0,100%,50%). The converter automatically recognizes and parses these formats. You can also use the color picker for visual selection.

What is the difference between RGB and HSL?

RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is how computers display colors by combining light. HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is more intuitive for humans. With HSL, you can easily think about rotating the color wheel (hue), making it more or less vibrant (saturation), and making it brighter or darker (lightness).

Why would I use RGBA or HSLA?

RGBA and HSLA formats include an alpha channel for transparency. The alpha value ranges from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque). This is essential for CSS and web design when you need colors with transparency effects, overlays, or blending.

Does it work offline?

Yes! After the initial page load, you can use the color converter completely offline. All color conversions happen in your browser using JavaScript, so no internet connection is required once the page has loaded.
