FAQ
- What color formats can this converter handle?
- The converter supports HEX, RGB, HSL, and HSV color formats used in most web and design workflows. You can enter any supported format and get equivalent values in the others.
- Does converting between HEX, RGB, HSL, and HSV change the color?
- No, conversion changes representation, not intended color. Small numeric differences can appear from rounding, especially when formats use different precision.
- Can I use shorthand HEX values like #fff?
- Yes, shorthand HEX values are expanded to full six-digit form before conversion. The resulting RGB, HSL, and HSV outputs represent the same color.
- When should I edit colors in HSL instead of RGB?
- HSL is easier when you want to tune hue, saturation, or lightness by intent. RGB is often better when matching channel-level values from graphics APIs or existing CSS.
