About the Color Converter & Picker
Translating the Language of Color
In web development and design, colors are represented in different formats. The most common are HEX codes, RGB(A), and HSL(A). While they can all represent the same color, they are used in different contexts. This tool provides a seamless way to convert between them and pick new colors visually.
Common Color Formats Explained
- HEX (Hexadecimal): The most common format on the web (e.g., `#FF5733`). It's a compact way to represent a color's Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) components.
- RGB (Red, Green, Blue): Represents colors by combining Red, Green, and Blue values, each from 0 to 255 (e.g., `rgb(255, 87, 51)`). The 'A' in RGBA stands for Alpha and controls transparency.
- HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness): An intuitive way to think about color. 'Hue' is the color itself (a degree on the color wheel), 'Saturation' is the intensity, and 'Lightness' is how bright or dark it is. It's great for creating color variations (e.g., `hsl(12, 100%, 60%)`).
