Tips and best practices
- HEX and RGB describe red, green, and blue components directly, while HSL represents hue, saturation, and lightness.
- Small rounding differences can appear when converting back and forth between RGB and HSL.
- To assess accessibility between two colours, use a contrast checker after conversion rather than relying on format conversion alone.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL?
HEX and RGB describe a colour using red, green, and blue components, while HSL uses hue, saturation, and lightness.
Will round-trip conversions always return exactly the same numbers?
The visual colour remains equivalent, but small numerical differences can occur because of rounding, especially with HSL.
Can I use the converted values directly in CSS?
Yes. HEX, RGB, and HSL are all commonly used CSS colour notations.
Are entered colours stored or uploaded?
No. Conversions run locally in your browser.
