Color Converter
Convert colors between HEX, RGB, and HSL formats.
How to Use the Color Converter:
- 1 Enter a color value in any of the supported formats: HEX (e.g., `#FF5733`), RGB (e.g., `rgb(255, 87, 51)` or `255, 87, 51`), or HSL (e.g., `hsl(10, 100%, 60%)` or `10, 100, 60`).
- 2 As you type, the other color formats and the color preview will update automatically.

Understanding Web Color Models
In web design and development, colors are represented in various formats. This tool helps you convert between the three most common models:
- HEX (Hexadecimal): A six-digit code (e.g., `#FF5733`) representing the Red, Green, and Blue components of a color. It's the most common format used in CSS for defining colors.
- RGB (Red, Green, Blue): Specifies a color using the intensity of Red, Green, and Blue, with each value ranging from 0 to 255 (e.g., `rgb(255, 87, 51)`). It's often used when opacity is needed (as RGBA).
- HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness): Represents color in a more human-intuitive way. Hue is the color's position on the color wheel (0-360), Saturation is the intensity (0-100%), and Lightness is the brightness (0-100%). HSL is very useful for creating color variations, like lighter or darker shades of a base color.
Our real-time converter allows you to input a color in any of these formats and instantly see its equivalent in the others, streamlining your design workflow.
