Recruiter Guide: Color Picker

Authoritative standards for passing ATS filters and catching hiring managers' attention.

Choosing accessible colors for web design

A color picker helps you explore palettes and copy exact values into CSS, Figma or Tailwind config. Beyond aesthetics, contrast ratio matters for accessibility. WCAG recommends at least 4.5:1 contrast for normal text against its background.

HEX is the default on the web. RGB maps to screens. HSL makes it easier to adjust lightness without shifting hue. Pick a base color, then copy all three formats for your design system documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straightforward answers regarding ATS compliance, PDF rendering, and data privacy.

What is OKLCH and why should I use it?+

OKLCH (Lightness, Chroma, Hue) is perceptually uniform, equal numerical changes look equally different to the eye. It produces smoother gradients and accessible palettes more reliably than HSL.

Why does my HEX value have 8 characters?+

8-digit HEX includes an alpha channel, the last two characters are opacity (00 transparent, FF opaque). Strip them if your tool only accepts RGB.

Does the eyedropper work in every browser?+

It uses the EyeDropper API, available in Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera). Safari and Firefox don't expose it yet.

What contrast ratio should body text meet?+

WCAG AA requires 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text (18pt+). AAA tightens those to 7:1 and 4.5:1.

How do I get the HEX code of a color?+

Drag the picker or enter a value and the tool shows the color's HEX code alongside a live preview. Click to copy it straight into your CSS, design tool or brand palette.

How do I copy the RGB and HSL values of a color?+

For any picked color the tool displays HEX, RGB and HSL formats side by side with one-click copy, so you can grab the exact value your stylesheet or design software needs.
