Color Converter
Convert colors between HEX, RGB, HSL and more.
What is Color Converter?
The Color Converter is a free online tool that lets you instantly convert color values between the most common color formats used in web and UI development: HEX, RGB, HSL, and CMYK. Whether you are working with a design token, a CSS variable, or a brand color from a style guide, this tool eliminates the need for manual formula calculations and gives you accurate conversions in real time with a live color preview so you can visually confirm the result.
For developers, color format compatibility is a constant concern. Design tools like Figma often export colors in HEX, while CSS properties such as color-mix() and animations work more naturally with HSL. Print assets may require CMYK values for the same brand color. Having a single tool that bridges all these formats saves time, reduces errors, and keeps your workflow moving without context-switching to scattered online calculators or custom scripts.
How to Use
To use the Color Converter, simply paste or type a color value in any of the supported input fields — HEX (e.g. #3a86ff), RGB (e.g. rgb(58, 134, 255)), HSL (e.g. hsl(217, 100%, 61%)), or CMYK (e.g. cmyk(77, 47, 0, 0)). The tool will immediately populate all other format fields with the equivalent values and render a live preview swatch so you can visually verify the output before copying it into your project.
Each output field is independently copyable, making it easy to grab just the format you need without reformatting manually. The tool accepts both shorthand and full HEX values (e.g. #fff and #ffffff), and handles edge cases such as RGB values with decimals, HSL hue values above 360 via normalization, and CMYK percentages expressed as decimals between 0 and 1 or as whole numbers.
One important edge case to be aware of: CMYK is a subtractive color model used primarily for print, so converting from RGB or HEX to CMYK may produce values that look slightly different when physically printed due to gamut differences. The tool gives you mathematically correct CMYK equivalents, but always verify against your print vendor's color profile when precision is critical.
