Color Palettes

UI color workflow: HEX, RGB, and HSL

What is this tool?

An advanced picker that outputs HEX, RGB, and HSL, builds palettes, and lets you tune lightness/saturation visually — great for Tailwind/CSS themes and brand work.

Use it when you must pair foreground/background colors with reasonable contrast.

When should you use it?

When you only have a logo color and need secondary/tertiary shades. When debugging CSS and comparing design tokens with production.

When building slides or PDFs that must match your web palette.

Real-world use cases

Frontend engineers mapping gradients into CSS variables or Android/iOS semantic colors. Dark-mode tweaks where WCAG contrast matters.

Marketers generating lighter/darker variants for hover and outline states.

Quick examples

Pick a text color → read HSL → lower lightness ~15% for a predictable hover tone.

Paste legacy HEX → inspect RGB for charting libs that expect channel arrays.

Why it matters

HSL adjustments are more systematic than guessing HEX digits, and keeping the workflow local speeds up iterative design before you commit tokens to code.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between HEX and RGB?▾

HEX uses a six-character hexadecimal notation (#FF5733). RGB uses three decimal values (255, 87, 51). They represent the same colors in different notation systems.

What is HSL?▾

HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, and Lightness. It is often more intuitive for designers because you can adjust brightness and saturation independently of the base hue.

Which color formats can I copy?▾

Each color can be copied as HEX (#FF5733), RGB (rgb(255, 87, 51)), or HSL (hsl(12, 100%, 60%)). Click the value to copy it to your clipboard.
