Color Converter

Convert colors between HEX, RGB, and HSL formats with a live color preview swatch.

The Color Converter is a quick-reference tool for designers and front-end developers who frequently work across different color format specifications. Enter a color in any of the three supported formats — HEX, RGB, or HSL — and the tool instantly converts it to the other two, while displaying a live swatch preview of the actual color.

Bridging the format gap

CSS properties often use one format, design tools like Figma use another, and brand guidelines specify a third. A button might be #3B82F6 in your Tailwind config, rgb(59, 130, 246) in your Figma handoff, and hsl(217, 91%, 60%) in your design tokens. This tool eliminates the mental math and manual lookup.

How it works

The conversion is fully bidirectional and real-time: editing any field immediately updates all others. The color math handles the HEX↔RGB↔HSL conversions with full precision, correctly handling edge cases like pure black, pure white, and fully saturated hues.
