Pick colors and convert between HEX, RGB, HSL, and other formats
A color picker is a tool that lets you select any color visually and instantly get its code in all major formats — HEX, RGB, and HSL. It's essential for web designers and developers who need precise color values for CSS, HTML, design systems, and brand guidelines. Our free online color picker works in any browser with no installation required.
Click the color swatch and drag to select any color from the visual color wheel, or type a HEX code directly into the input field.
The tool instantly shows your selected color in HEX (#RRGGBB), RGB (red, green, blue 0–255), and HSL (hue, saturation, lightness) formats.
Click the copy icon next to any format to copy the color code to your clipboard, ready to paste into your CSS, design app, or code editor.
| Format | Example | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| HEX | #3b82f6 | CSS, HTML, most design tools — the universal web standard |
| RGB | rgb(59, 130, 246) | CSS when you need transparency (rgba) or channel manipulation |
| HSL | hsl(217, 91%, 60%) | CSS for theming — easier to create color variations by adjusting lightness |
A HEX color code is a 6-digit hexadecimal number preceded by a # symbol that represents a color in the RGB color model. The first two digits represent red, the next two green, and the last two blue. For example, #FF0000 is pure red, #00FF00 is pure green, and #3b82f6 is a medium blue.
RGB defines a color with three values (red, green, blue) from 0–255. RGBA adds a fourth 'alpha' channel (0–1) for transparency. For example, rgba(59, 130, 246, 0.5) is the same blue at 50% opacity. Use RGBA in CSS when you need semi-transparent elements.
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is more intuitive for creating color variations. To create a lighter version of a color, simply increase the lightness value. This is much easier than calculating a new HEX code. It's particularly useful for design systems and CSS custom properties.
Use this free color picker tool. Select any color or enter a HEX code, and the tool automatically displays the equivalent RGB and HSL values. Click the copy icon next to any format to copy it instantly.
