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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straightforward answers regarding color converter calculations, platform limits, and data privacy.

Which color formats does the converter support?+

The tool automatically detects 3-digit and 6-digit HEX, 8-digit HEX with alpha, RGB and RGBA, HSL and HSLA, HSV/HSB, CMYK, and all 148 standard CSS named colors like tomato, rebeccapurple, and midnightblue.

Does converting between HEX and RGB lose precision?+

No. HEX and 8-bit RGB represent identical 24-bit color data using different numerical bases (hexadecimal base 16 vs decimal base 10). The conversion is mathematically exact and lossless.

How does the Tailwind 50 to 950 scale generator work?+

The generator creates a 10-step tint and shade scale modeled on Tailwind CSS design tokens. Steps 50 to 400 are tints mixed with pure white, step 500 represents your base color, and steps 600 to 950 are shades mixed with black. You can copy individual hexes or the full JSON configuration object.

What color vision deficiencies does the simulator check?+

The accessibility panel simulates Deuteranopia (green blindness, ~6% of males), Protanopia (red blindness, ~2% of males), Tritanopia (blue blindness, <0.1%), and Achromatopsia (monochrome vision) using standard transformation matrices.

How do I convert CMYK to HEX or RGB?+

Type or paste your CMYK values in the format cmyk(76%, 47%, 0%, 4%) or cmyk(76, 47, 0, 4). The converter automatically calculates the corresponding RGB, HEX, and HSL equivalents.

Can I convert transparent colors with alpha channels?+

Yes. Both RGBA (e.g. rgba(59, 130, 246, 0.8)) and 8-digit HEX codes (e.g. #3B82F6CC) preserve the alpha channel, outputting both transparent and opaque variations.
