The Color Picker lets you select any color visually and instantly see its value in HEX, RGB, HSL, and CSS variable formats. Input a color by clicking the color wheel, typing a HEX code, or adjusting individual RGB values - all formats update in real time. Perfect for web designers choosing brand colors, developers converting between color formats, or anyone who needs precise color values. All conversions happen locally in your browser with no data transmission.
Click the color picker to select a color visually, or type a HEX code directly into the HEX input field. The large preview swatch shows your selected color.
Adjust individual Red, Green, and Blue channel values (0-255) for precise color control. Changes update the color picker and all format outputs in real time.
Your selected color is displayed in four formats: HEX (#3B82F6), RGB (rgb(59, 130, 246)), HSL (hsl(217, 91%, 60%)), and as a CSS custom property. All values update instantly.
Click the copy button next to any color format to copy it to your clipboard. Paste directly into your CSS, design tool, or code editor.
HEX (#FF5733) uses hexadecimal notation with 6 characters for red, green, and blue. RGB (rgb(255, 87, 51)) uses decimal values 0-255 for each channel. HSL (hsl(14, 100%, 60%)) uses Hue (0-360 degrees), Saturation (0-100%), and Lightness (0-100%). All three describe the same colors - they're just different ways to express them.
For most cases, HEX is the most concise and widely used in CSS. Use RGB when you need alpha transparency (rgba). Use HSL when you want to create color variations by adjusting lightness or saturation - it's more intuitive for generating color palettes. Modern CSS also supports oklch() for perceptually uniform colors.
Each pair of HEX digits represents one RGB channel: #FF5733 → R=FF(255), G=57(87), B=33(51). This tool does the conversion automatically. To convert manually, parse each pair as a hexadecimal number: parseInt('FF', 16) = 255.
HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, Lightness. Hue is a degree on the color wheel (0=red, 120=green, 240=blue). Saturation is the intensity (0% = gray, 100% = full color). Lightness is brightness (0% = black, 50% = normal, 100% = white). HSL is often considered more intuitive than RGB for humans.
Yes, this tool provides precise color values in all major formats. Pick a color, copy the HEX or RGB value, and paste it into Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, or any CSS file. The visual preview helps you confirm the color before copying.
