What color formats are supported?

We support HEX (e.g., #FF5733), RGB (e.g., rgb(255, 87, 51)), HSL (e.g., hsl(11, 100%, 60%)), and CMYK for print. Convert between any of these formats instantly.

How do I pick a color from my screen?

Use the color picker input or click the eyedropper icon (if supported by your browser). You can also manually enter color values in any format.

RGB (Red, Green, Blue) defines colors by mixing light. HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is more intuitive - hue is the color wheel position, saturation is intensity, and lightness is brightness.

Can I generate color palettes?

Yes! We generate complementary, analogous, triadic, and shades of your selected color automatically.

About Color Formats

HEX Colors

Hexadecimal color codes use 6 digits (e.g., #FF5733) representing RGB values in base-16. Widely used in web development and CSS.

RGB Colors

RGB defines colors by mixing Red, Green, and Blue light. Each channel ranges from 0-255. Used in displays and digital media.

HSL Colors

HSL uses Hue (0-360°), Saturation (0-100%), and Lightness (0-100%). More intuitive for humans to understand and adjust.

CMYK Colors

CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) is used for print. It's a subtractive color model, mixing inks to create colors.
