Color Picker & Converter
Pick colors and convert between HEX, RGB, RGBA, HSL, HSV, CMYK and CSS color formats instantly.
How to use Color Picker & Converter
Use the Color Picker & Converter to select a color and instantly view its values in multiple professional color formats. Start by choosing a color with the color picker or entering a HEX color code into the HEX field. As soon as you enter a valid color, the tool updates the corresponding color values automatically. You can view the selected color in HEX, RGB, RGBA, HSL, HSLA, HSV, CMYK and CSS variable formats without performing manual calculations. This makes the tool useful for web designers, developers, graphic designers, UI/UX designers and anyone who regularly works with digital colors. If you already know a HEX value, enter it directly, such as #EF4444, to immediately see the equivalent RGB, HSL, HSV and CMYK values. You can also use the color picker to visually select a new working color and inspect its complete color information. The RGB value shows the red, green and blue components, while RGBA also includes the alpha transparency value. HSL represents hue, saturation and lightness, and HSV represents hue, saturation and value. CMYK provides cyan, magenta, yellow and black values for print-oriented color workflows. The tool also provides tints and shades of the selected color. Click a swatch to quickly make that variation your active color and generate a new set of color values. Use the copy buttons beside individual values when you need to paste a color code into HTML, CSS, JavaScript, design software or other projects. The tool also includes WCAG contrast checking so you can compare the selected color against white and black backgrounds and review its contrast ratio and accessibility rating. This is useful when selecting text, buttons, backgrounds and interface colors for accessible websites and applications. For developers, the CSS variable output can be copied directly into a stylesheet. For designers, the different color models make it easier to move a color between web, interface and print workflows. The tool works directly in the browser, making it a convenient free online color picker and color converter for everyday design and development tasks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a HEX color code to RGB?
Enter or paste the HEX color code into the HEX field, such as #EF4444. The tool automatically converts the value and displays the equivalent RGB color, along with RGBA, HSL, HSV, CMYK and CSS values.
What is the difference between HSL and HSV?
HSL and HSV both describe colors using hue and saturation, but their third components are different. HSL uses lightness, while HSV uses value or brightness. Both are useful for understanding and adjusting colors in digital design.
Can I find the color code from an image?
This color converter focuses on selecting and converting colors entered or picked through the tool. For extracting a color directly from an image, use a dedicated image color picker or color identifier tool.
What are tints and shades in color?
A tint is a lighter variation of a color created by moving the color toward white, while a shade is a darker variation created by moving it toward black. The tool provides multiple tint and shade variations that you can select as a new working color.
What is a WCAG contrast ratio?
A WCAG contrast ratio measures the difference in visual contrast between foreground and background colors. It helps designers and developers check whether text and interface elements have sufficient contrast for accessibility. The tool compares the selected color against white and black backgrounds and shows the corresponding contrast rating.
