Color Converter

Convert HEX to RGB, HSL, CMYK color codes

What is the Color Converter?

The color converter works like this: it converts colors between HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV and CMYK, and shows the nearest web-safe name. Everything happens on your device - the input never leaves your tab unless the tool clearly states it performs a server-side lookup.

How to use the Color Converter

1. Enter or paste the source value.
2. Confirm the source and target units or formats.
3. Read the converted result, which updates live as you type.
4. Copy the output when you are happy with it.

Frequently asked questions

Which format should I use in CSS?

HEX and RGB are interchangeable; HSL is easiest for humans to tweak ("make it lighter" = raise L). CMYK is print-oriented and only approximate on screens.

Why do HEX and RGB disagree with what I see?

They describe the same colour in different notations (hex #3498db = rgb(52, 152, 219)) - any mismatch you see comes from colour-profile rendering, not the conversion, which is exact arithmetic.

When do I need CMYK?

Print work - screens emit RGB light while printers lay down CMYK ink, and the conversion here is the standard approximation that should be fine-tuned with your printer's profile.
