Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL?

HEX uses hexadecimal notation (#RRGGBB) and is most common in web development. RGB uses red, green, blue values (0-255) and is used in digital graphics. HSL uses hue (0-360°), saturation, and lightness percentages - it's more intuitive for designers as it matches how we perceive colors.

When should I use HSL instead of RGB or HEX?

HSL is ideal when you need to create color variations - adjusting lightness for hover states, saturation for muted versions, or hue for color schemes. RGB and HEX are better when you have exact color specifications or need backwards compatibility.

What is HSV and how is it different from HSL?

HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) is similar to HSL but uses 'Value' instead of 'Lightness'. HSV is often used in color pickers and image editing, while HSL is more common in CSS. Both represent colors in a more intuitive way than RGB.

Can I paste color values directly?

Yes! Paste any valid color format into the HEX input field. The tool automatically recognizes HEX (#FF5733 or FF5733), RGB (rgb(255, 87, 51)), HSL (hsl(10, 100%, 60%)), or named colors (red, blue, etc.).

How do I use these colors in CSS?

Copy any format and use it in your CSS. HEX: color: #FF5733; RGB: color: rgb(255, 87, 51); HSL: color: hsl(10, 100%, 60%); Modern browsers support all three formats. HSL is great for creating color variations with CSS variables.
