FAQ
Can HEX and RGB convert to each other?
Yes — they are two notations of the same color: #FF0000 is rgb(255,0,0). Enter either and see the others.
What is HSL?
HSL = Hue / Saturation / Lightness, more intuitive than RGB for adjusting how vivid or light a color is.
How is transparency (Alpha) represented?
HEX can use 8 digits (#RRGGBBAA) and RGB uses rgba(r,g,b,a) with a 0–1 alpha; this tool focuses on opaque colors.
Can I convert a Pantone number?
Pantone is a spot-color standard with no universal formula mapping to HEX; use an official lookup table for an approximation.
Why do screen and print colors differ?
Screens emit RGB light while prints use CMYK ink — different gamuts cause shifts. Web only uses RGB/HEX, so print color is irrelevant.
How do I get a brand color's HSL quickly?
Paste the brand HEX or RGB here to read its HSL, making it easy to tweak lightness for hover states in CSS.
