Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between HEX and RGB?
Both represent the same colors. HEX uses hexadecimal notation (#RRGGBB) while RGB uses decimal values (0-255 for each channel). HEX is more compact; RGB is more readable.
When should I use HSL instead of RGB?
HSL is intuitive for creating color variations. Adjust lightness to create shades and tints. Adjust saturation for vibrancy. HSL makes programmatic color manipulation easier.
How do I find complementary colors?
Complementary colors are opposite on the color wheel - 180° apart in hue. In HSL, add 180 to the hue value to find the complement. Our lightness variations help find related shades.
What is the CSS RGB format?
Modern CSS supports space-separated RGB: rgb(59 130 246). This newer syntax is cleaner than comma-separated rgb(59, 130, 246). Both work in modern browsers.
How do I convert colors between formats?
Our picker automatically converts between HEX, RGB, and HSL. Pick any color and all formats update instantly. Copy whichever format you need.
Can I enter a color code directly?
Yes! Type or paste a HEX color code in the input field. The picker, sliders, and all format outputs will update to match your entered color.
