About the Color Picker
Features
Visual spectrum picker
A 2D saturation/lightness canvas with a draggable thumb, plus a hue slider — the same picker UI you find in design tools and browser devtools.
Live HEX / RGB / HSL conversion
Edit any field — HEX, R, G, B, H, S, or L — and every other format updates instantly. Bidirectional, accurate, no rounding errors on round-trips.
Alpha (transparency) support
Set opacity with the alpha slider or the Alpha % field. HEX shows as #RRGGBBAA; copied RGB and HSL use rgba() and hsla() syntax when alpha is less than 100%.
One-click copy
Every format has its own Copy button. Click it and the value lands in your clipboard, ready to paste into CSS, Figma, Tailwind config, or anywhere else.
Shade & tint palette
Nine swatches from the lightest tint to the darkest shade of your color. Click any swatch to jump to it — useful for building a full color scale.
Complementary color
Shows the color directly opposite on the color wheel (hue + 180°), with its HEX code and a copy button — instantly useful for contrast and pairing decisions.
Color formats explained
HEX, RGB, and HSL are all ways to describe the exact same color — they just use different number systems. HEX is the most common in web development (#FF0000 for red), stored as a six-digit hexadecimal string. RGB splits the color into red, green, and blue channels, each from 0 to 255 — the same model your screen uses to emit light. HSL uses hue (the color's angle on the wheel, 0–360°), saturation (how vivid it is, 0–100%), and lightness (how light or dark, 0–100%), which makes it far more intuitive to adjust than RGB.
Who it's for

Designers
Match a brand color from its HEX code, generate a quick shade scale, or find a complementary pair for contrast work — all in one tool.
Anyone with a color
Got a color from a screenshot or spec and need its code? Type any format in and copy out whatever your tool needs. No conversions by hand.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the color picker work?
Pick a color from the spectrum by clicking or dragging, or type a value directly into the HEX, RGB, or HSL field. Every format updates live as you interact, and you can copy any value with one click.
Is this color picker free to use?
Completely free — no sign-up, no downloads, and no limits. Use it as often as you like.
What color formats does it convert between?
It converts between HEX (6-digit and 8-digit with alpha), RGB / RGBA, and HSL / HSLA. All formats include optional alpha (transparency) support.
What is the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL?
All three describe the same color using different representations. HEX uses a 6-character code (e.g. #FF0000), RGB uses red, green, and blue channel values (0–255 each), and HSL uses hue (0–360°), saturation (0–100%), and lightness (0–100%). Choose whichever format your tool or code accepts.
Does it support transparency (alpha)?
Yes. Use the Alpha slider or the Alpha % field to set transparency from 0% (fully transparent) to 100% (fully opaque). The HEX field will show an 8-digit code (#RRGGBBAA), and the copied RGB and HSL values will use rgba() or hsla() syntax.
Can I copy the color values?
Yes. Each format has a Copy button that puts the value in your clipboard instantly — ready to paste into CSS, a design tool like Figma, or any other app.
What is the shade and tint palette?
The palette shows nine shades of your current color, ranging from lighter tints to darker shades. Click any swatch to set it as the active color, which is useful for building a consistent color scale for a design system or palette.
What is the complementary color?
The complementary color is the color directly opposite on the color wheel — calculated by adding 180° to the current hue. Complementary pairs create strong visual contrast and are commonly used in design for emphasis and readability.
Is my data stored or sent anywhere?
No. All color calculations happen entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server or stored anywhere.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The picker is fully responsive and supports touch on the spectrum canvas and all sliders. The layout adapts to fit any screen size without horizontal scrolling.
