What does this tool do?
Color Picker lets you pick any color and instantly get its HEX, RGB, and HSL values, with preset swatches and a live preview. It makes it easy to choose a color visually and convert it into different CSS formats. It is a fast reference tool for designers, developers, and anyone hunting for a color value.
How to use it
- Adjust the values and options.
- See the result in the live preview.
- Copy the generated CSS/code into your project.
How it works
When you set a hue in the color picker, the tool instantly converts the selection into three formats: HEX (#RRGGBB), RGB (rgb(r, g, b)), and HSL (hsl(h, s%, l%)). You can also grab common colors quickly from the preset swatch palette. Each value is copyable with one click, and the preview area shows the selected color in a large block.
Common use cases
Use it to capture a color from a design and port it into CSS, to convert between HEX and RGB or HSL, and to quickly try out colors while building a palette. The HSL format is especially helpful for anyone who wants to keep a hue fixed while adjusting its lightness or saturation.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL?
All three describe the same color differently: HEX is a compact hexadecimal code, RGB specifies red-green-blue channels from 0–255, and HSL uses hue, saturation, and lightness. HSL is often the easiest for adjusting a color intuitively.
How do I copy the color value I picked?
Click the value next to each format to copy it to your clipboard. You can then paste it straight into your CSS file or design tool.
