Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I convert HEX to RGB?
- Enter your HEX color code (e.g., #3b82f6) and the tool instantly displays the RGB equivalent (59, 130, 246) along with the HSL value. You can also use the visual color picker.
- What is the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL?
- HEX is a compact 6-character notation used in CSS (#RRGGBB). RGB specifies Red, Green, Blue values from 0–255. HSL uses Hue (0–360°), Saturation (0–100%), and Lightness (0–100%), which is more intuitive for color manipulation.
- Which color format should I use in CSS?
- All three are valid in CSS. HEX is the most common and compact. RGB/RGBA is useful when you need transparency. HSL/HSLA is best when you need to programmatically adjust lightness or saturation.
