How do I use the color picker?

Click on the color input to open your browser's color picker. Select a color and all formats (HEX, RGB, HSL) will update automatically. You can copy any format to clipboard.

What color formats are supported?

The color picker supports HEX (#RRGGBB), RGB (rgb(r, g, b)), and HSL (hsl(h, s%, l%)) formats. All formats are calculated from the selected color.

Can I copy color codes to clipboard?

Yes, click the copy button next to any color format (HEX, RGB, HSL) to copy it to your clipboard. The button shows a checkmark when copied.

How accurate are the color conversions?

Color conversions are precise. RGB and HSL are calculated from the HEX color value using standard conversion algorithms.

What is HSL color format?

HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, Lightness. It's an alternative to RGB that's more intuitive for color manipulation. Hue is 0-360°, Saturation and Lightness are 0-100%.

Can I use these colors in CSS?
