How to convert a color

Type or paste a color in any format (a #hex, rgb(), hsl() or a name like "tomato") into the box, or click the swatch to pick one. Every other format updates instantly with a live preview — copy whichever you need. The two stay in sync, so you can nudge the picker and read off the exact HEX or HSL.

A color converter turns one color format into the others. Paste a HEX code, an rgb() or hsl() value, or a named color — or pick from the swatch — and TechWhack shows every format at once (HEX, RGB, HSL) with a live preview, ready to copy. It uses the browser's own color engine, so it understands any valid CSS color.

HEX, RGB and HSL — the difference

They describe the same colors three ways. HEX (#ff6347) is the compact web standard. RGB (rgb 255 99 71) is the same red/green/blue values in decimal. HSL (hue, saturation, lightness) is the most human — it is the one to reach for when you want a "slightly lighter" or "less saturated" version, because you just nudge one number.

FAQ

How do I convert a HEX color to RGB or HSL?Paste a HEX value like #3366FF and the equivalent RGB and HSL values are shown at once, alongside a live preview. You can also start from an rgb(), hsl(), or named color and it fills in the others.

What is the difference between RGB and HSL?RGB describes a color by its red, green, and blue amounts, which matches how screens emit light, while HSL uses hue, saturation, and lightness, which is more intuitive for tweaking shades. Seeing both lets you pick whichever is easier for the adjustment you want.

Can it convert to CMYK or check color contrast?Not yet. It focuses on HEX, RGB, HSL, and named colors with a live preview; CMYK conversion and contrast-ratio checking are not currently included. For print CMYK values you would need a dedicated print tool.

Can I just pick a color instead of typing a code?Yes. Use the color swatch picker and the HEX, RGB, and HSL values update instantly to match your selection. It uses the browser color engine, so everything happens on your device.
