Frequently asked questions
What color formats are supported?
HEX, RGB, RGBA, HSL, HSLA and CSS color names are all supported. Convert between any of these formats instantly.
Can I copy the color code directly?
Yes. Every color value has a copy button that copies the formatted code ready to paste into your CSS or design tool.
Does the tool work offline?
Yes. All color calculations run locally in your browser with no internet connection required.
Is the color picker calibrated for screen colors?
Color values are accurate for standard sRGB screen colors. For print design requiring precise CMYK values, use a professional print-calibrated application.
Can I use the colors in any design tool?
Yes. All color formats (HEX, RGB, HSL) are universally supported in CSS, Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch, Canva and all major design tools.
What is the difference between HSL and RGB?
RGB defines color by red, green and blue light intensities — the way screens work physically. HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) describes color the way humans perceive it, making it easier to adjust a color's brightness or vividness without changing its hue.
