What are HEX, RGB, and HSL?

In web design and graphic design, colors are represented with different coding systems. Our free Color Converter helps you effortlessly switch between the most common ones: HEX, RGB, and HSL. This is essential for designers, developers, and marketers who want to maintain consistent color palettes across various platforms.

The difference between the formats

HEX (Hexadecimal): This is a six-digit code that starts with a hash sign (#). Every two digits represent the amount of red, green, and blue. It is the standard for defining colors in HTML and CSS, and is compact and easy to copy. An example is #FF5733 for an orange-red color.
RGB (Red, Green, Blue): This format describes a color by indicating the intensity of the three primary colors: red, green, and blue. Each value ranges from 0 to 255. This format is intuitive and ideal for digital screens, as they display light in this way. An example is rgb(255, 87, 51).
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness): This is a more human-oriented model. It describes a color based on its hue, saturation, and lightness. This format is perfect for adjusting colors, as you can easily change the lightness or saturation without losing the main hue. An example is hsl(10, 100%, 60%).

Frequently Asked Questions about Color Coding

Here we answer some frequently asked questions to help you get the most out of this tool:

What is the advantage of HSL over RGB or HEX?

HSL is ideal for designers who want to develop a color scheme. You can lock in the hue and adjust the saturation or lightness to create variations, which is much more intuitive than adjusting RGB values.

Can this tool also calculate color contrast?

No, this specific tool is intended for conversion. Calculating contrast is a more complex task that compares the brightness of two colors. Our tool is exclusively focused on the accurate conversion of color models.
