Convert Colors Instantly

Q: Which color formats can I convert between?

The converter handles HEX, RGB, HSL, and CMYK. Pick your input format, choose what you want out, and the result updates as you type.

Q: What is the difference between RGB, HSL, and CMYK?

RGB mixes red, green, and blue light and is what screens use. HSL describes a color as hue, saturation, and lightness, which is easier to adjust by hand. CMYK is a print format based on cyan, magenta, yellow, and black ink.

Q: Do I need to include the # in a HEX value?

No. Both #FF5733 and FF5733 are accepted. Three-digit shorthand such as #F53 works too and expands to its six-digit form.

RGB mixes red, green, and blue light and is what screens use. HSL describes a color as hue, saturation, and lightness, which is easier to adjust by hand. CMYK is a print format based on cyan, magenta, yellow, and black ink.

CMYK describes ink on paper, RGB describes light on a display. Some colors one can produce simply do not exist in the other, so a conversion is always the closest available equivalent rather than an exact match. For print work, always confirm against a physical proof.

It estimates how light or dark the color appears, which is useful when deciding whether text should sit on it. If you need a formal accessibility result, use the Contrast Checker, which measures against WCAG thresholds.
