Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL?
HEX represents color as a 6-digit hexadecimal string (#FF5733). RGB uses three decimal values for red, green, and blue (255, 87, 51). HSL uses hue, saturation, and lightness (11°, 100%, 60%). All three represent the same color in different formats.
Q: Which color format should I use?
HEX is most common for web design. RGB is used in image editing software. HSL is easier for humans to understand and adjust. Use whichever format your tool or platform requires.
Q: Can I convert between color formats?
Yes. Use the companion tools HEX to RGB, RGB to HEX, HEX to HSL, and others for format conversion.
Q: Is the color picker private?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser. No data is sent to any server.
