About Color Formats

Hex Colors

Hexadecimal format (#RRGGBB) is the most common way to represent colors on the web. Each pair represents Red, Green, and Blue values from 00 to FF.

RGB Colors

RGB (Red, Green, Blue) format uses decimal values from 0-255 for each color channel. Widely supported and easy to understand.

HSL Colors

HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is more intuitive for color adjustments. Hue is 0-360°, while Saturation and Lightness are 0-100%.

WCAG Guidelines

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines ensure text is readable. AA requires 4.5:1 for normal text, AAA requires 7:1.

Client-Side Only

All color conversions and calculations happen in your browser. No data is sent to any server.

Problems This Color Picker Solves

  • Eliminates manual color format conversion - Stop using calculators or conversion websites to switch between Hex, RGB, and HSL. Get all three formats automatically updated in real-time as you adjust colors.
  • Prevents accessibility compliance failures - Avoid designing with insufficient color contrast. The built-in WCAG checker instantly validates if your color combinations meet AA or AAA accessibility standards before deployment.
  • Saves time finding perfect colors - No more trial and error adjusting RGB values or guessing hex codes. Use intuitive sliders for hue, saturation, and lightness to visually dial in exactly the color you need.
  • Streamlines design-to-code workflow - Copy color values in the exact format your code needs—Hex for CSS, RGB for Canvas APIs, or HSL for dynamic color manipulation—with a single click.
  • Eliminates color blindness guesswork - Don't wonder if your text is readable. The contrast ratio calculator gives you precise measurements and clear pass/fail indicators for WCAG compliance.
  • Prevents hex code typos - Stop manually typing hex codes and making mistakes. Use the visual picker or sliders, then copy the perfectly formatted code directly into your stylesheet.
  • Simplifies brand color implementation - Quickly find complementary shades by adjusting lightness while keeping hue constant. Create color variations for hover states, disabled buttons, or theme variations without guesswork.
  • Works offline for sensitive projects - All color picking, conversion, and contrast checking happens entirely in your browser. No color data is transmitted to servers, perfect for client work under NDA.
  • Removes format confusion - Stop wondering which format to use where. See Hex for CSS properties, RGB for JavaScript manipulation, and HSL for intuitive color adjustments—all at once.
