Color converter
Color converter represents a color as HEX, HEX Alpha, RGB, RGBA, HSV, HSL, or HSLA. Compare the output values when preparing a palette or design handoff.
Color converter helps you represent one color as HEX, HEX Alpha, RGB, RGBA, HSV, HSL, or HSLA for a design handoff. Start with a representative sample of your actual task. Read the form labels and the returned value before replacing text, a link, or a code fragment that is already in use.
How to use Color converter
- Enter a color starting with # or a lowercase color function.
- Select Submit.
- Read the labeled outputs and copy the required notation.
Worked example
#336699 represents RGB 51, 102, 153 and HSL hue 210°, saturation 50%, lightness 40%. HSV saturation and value mean different things.
Limits and checks
Alpha describes opacity separately. Do not assume every output preserves transparency or composites against a known background. Check the result in the destination application.
Frequently asked questions
Should I review the result before using it?
Yes. Compare the simple example with the result, then check the destination requirements. A displayed output does not automatically establish publication, uniqueness, compatibility, or complete validation of the content.
Does the swatch prove that opacity was preserved?
No. A visual swatch is not a complete test of the alpha channel. Read the alpha-capable output and compare it against the background used by your destination.
