Converting between HEX, RGB and HSL
Designers receive brand guidelines in HEX. JavaScript canvas APIs want RGB. CSS developers increasingly prefer HSL for theme variables because adjusting --primary-light is one line. A converter eliminates manual lookup tables.
When pasting from Photoshop or Figma, watch for alpha channels. RGBA and HSLA include opacity. Standard HEX is six digits without transparency, eight digits with alpha on some platforms.
