Color Picker & Converter

A color picker is a tool that lets you select, visualize, and convert colors between different formats. Web developers, designers, and digital artists work with colors daily, and different contexts require different formats: CSS uses HEX and RGB, design tools use HSL and HSB, and print workflows use CMYK. A reliable color converter eliminates the manual math and guesswork involved in translating between these systems.

This free online color picker provides real-time conversion between HEX, RGB, HSL, and HSB. It features an interactive color input, RGB sliders for fine-tuning, an EyeDropper API for sampling colors directly from your screen, and a saved palette for storing frequently used colors. All processing happens in your browser with zero server calls.

HEX is the most common web color format, representing red, green, and blue channels as two-digit hexadecimal values. RGB defines colors by specifying the intensity of Red, Green, and Blue channels on a 0-255 scale. HSL describes colors by Hue, Saturation, and Lightness, which many designers find more intuitive for adjusting colors. HSB is similar to HSL but uses Brightness instead of Lightness, which is the model used by tools like Adobe Photoshop and Figma.

Each format has its strengths: HEX is compact for CSS, RGB maps directly to screen pixels, HSL is intuitive for making a color lighter or more saturated, and HSB aligns with how design tools represent color. This tool converts seamlessly between all four, so you can work in whichever format suits your current task.

• Web development: convert design colors to CSS HEX or RGB values
• UI design: find the exact HSL values for consistent color systems
• Branding: ensure color consistency across web, print, and social media
• Accessibility: adjust lightness and saturation to meet contrast requirements
• Digital art: sample colors from reference images using the EyeDropper
• Presentations: quickly generate matching color palettes

• Use HSL when you need to create variations of a color by adjusting saturation or lightness while keeping the hue constant
• For accessibility, ensure at least a 4.5:1 contrast ratio between text and background colors
• The EyeDropper works across your entire screen, not just the browser window
• Save your brand colors to the palette for quick access during development
• When working with opacity, remember that HEX supports 8-digit notation and RGB supports rgba syntax
