About Color Spaces

HEX is the most common format in web design, representing red, green, and blue channels as a six-digit hexadecimal number (e.g., #2563eb). RGB uses decimal values from 0 to 255 for each channel and is the native format for CSS rgb() functions. HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is popular with designers because it maps more intuitively to how humans perceive color — adjusting lightness or saturation is straightforward. HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) is closely related to HSL but measures "brightness" differently; it is the model used by most color pickers in graphics software like Photoshop and Figma. Converting between these formats is essential when moving between design tools, writing CSS, or matching brand colors across platforms.

FAQ

What's the difference between HSL and HSV?
Both use hue and saturation, but they define brightness differently. In HSL, lightness 50% gives the purest color, while 0% is black and 100% is white. In HSV, value 100% gives the brightest version of the color, and 0% is always black. HSL is more common in CSS, while HSV is used in most design tool color pickers.
How do HEX color codes work?
A HEX code like #2563eb is made up of three pairs of hexadecimal digits representing red (25), green (63), and blue (eb). Each pair ranges from 00 (0) to ff (255). The hash symbol (#) is a convention that signals a hex color value.
Can I use this for CSS colors?
Yes. The copy buttons output CSS-ready strings. HEX values work directly as CSS color properties, and the RGB and HSL outputs are formatted as valid rgb() and hsl() CSS functions. HSV is not natively supported in CSS, but you can use the HEX or HSL equivalent instead.
