Professional Color Conversion and Management

Designers and developers often need to bridge the gap between creative tools and code. While Photoshop might use RGB, print designers rely on CMYK, and CSS developers increasingly prefer HSL or LCH for programmatic color adjustments. This tool provides a unified interface to convert between these formats seamlessly.

Modern Color Spaces for CSS

  • HEX & RGB: The classic standards for web design, perfect for defining specific 24-bit colors.
  • HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness): A more intuitive way to think about color, allowing you to easily create variants (lighter/darker) of the same hue.
  • LCH (Lightness, Chroma, Hue): A perceptually uniform color space that represents how humans actually perceive color. It is the future of CSS colors, allowing for wider gamuts (P3) and better accessibility.
  • HWB (Hue, Whiteness, Blackness): A human-friendly coordinate system that is part of the CSS Color Module Level 4.
  • CMYK: Essential for projects that may involve physical printing, ensuring your digital colors map to ink percentages.

Built-in Browser Eye Dropper

If you are on a compatible browser (like Chrome or Edge), you can use the Native Eye Dropper API to pick any color directly from your desktop or other browser tabs. This simplifies the workflow of capturing inspirations from the web without needing external browser extensions.

Color Formats Explained

Digital colors can be represented in multiple ways. HEX is standard for web design (#RRGGBB). RGB defines the intensity of Red, Green, and Blue. HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is often more intuitive for humans, and CMYK is the standard for physical printing.

Why Convert Colors?

Designers and developers often need to switch between formats to meet specific requirements—using HEX for CSS, RGB for canvas manipulation, or HSL for programmatic color adjustments. This tool ensures precision across all color models.
