What Is a Color Converter?
A color converter is an online tool that converts color values between different color formats. Designers, developers, UI/UX professionals and digital artists commonly use HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV, HWB and CMYK color models for different projects. Color Converter CTL lets you convert these color formats quickly in your browser without creating an account or uploading color data.
HEX to RGB Color Converter
HEX is one of the most common color formats used in
websites and CSS. A HEX color such as
#1E90FF represents red, green and blue
channel values using hexadecimal notation. Use this
free HEX to RGB converter to quickly convert a
hexadecimal color into its RGB equivalent.
RGB to HEX Converter
RGB represents colors using Red, Green and Blue values
from 0 to 255. Enter an RGB value such as
rgb(30, 144, 255) to convert RGB to HEX
instantly. The resulting HEX value can be copied and
used directly in CSS, HTML and web design projects.
How to Convert HEX to RGB
A six-character HEX color contains three pairs of
hexadecimal numbers. The first pair represents red,
the second represents green and the third represents
blue. For example, #FF5733 corresponds
to RGB values of 255, 87 and 51. Color Converter CTL
performs the conversion automatically.
How to Convert RGB to HEX
RGB values can be converted into hexadecimal values by
converting each red, green and blue channel into a
two-character hexadecimal number. For example,
rgb(0, 128, 255) becomes
#0080FF.
What Is HSL?
HSL means Hue, Saturation and Lightness. It provides a human-friendly way to describe colors and is widely used in CSS and modern web design.
What Is HSV or HSB?
HSV means Hue, Saturation and Value. HSB, or Hue Saturation Brightness, is another name commonly used for the same color model. It is frequently used in design applications and color pickers.
What Is CMYK?
CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key (Black). It is mainly used for printing. Converting RGB colors to CMYK can help designers prepare digital colors for print workflows.
What Is HWB?
HWB means Hue, Whiteness and Blackness. It is a modern CSS color representation that provides another intuitive way of describing colors.
HEX vs RGB vs HSL
HEX, RGB and HSL are all useful for digital design, but they represent colors differently. HEX is compact and commonly used in CSS. RGB is useful for controlling red, green and blue channels, while HSL can make it easier to work with hue, saturation and lightness.
RGB to CMYK Color Conversion
RGB is designed for digital screens, while CMYK is primarily associated with printing. RGB to CMYK conversion is useful when preparing digital artwork for print. The result should still be checked against the printer's color profile when color accuracy is critical.
CSS Color Code Converter
CSS supports several color formats including color keywords, HEX, RGB, HSL and modern color functions. Our CSS color converter helps developers quickly generate and copy CSS-ready color values for websites, applications and user interfaces.
