Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL?
HEX uses a six-character hexadecimal string (#RRGGBB) and is the most common format in CSS. RGB specifies red, green, and blue channels as numbers 0-255. HSL describes colors by hue (0-360°), saturation (0-100%), and lightness (0-100%), making it more intuitive for adjusting brightness and vibrancy.
When should I use each color format?
Use HEX for shorthand in CSS and design hand-offs. Use RGB when you need to manipulate individual color channels programmatically. Use HSL when you want to create color palettes or adjust lightness and saturation, as it maps more closely to how humans perceive color.
Can I enter colors with alpha transparency?
This converter focuses on opaque HEX, RGB, and HSL values. For transparency, you can manually append an alpha channel (e.g. rgba or hsla) after converting the base color.
