How it works
- Pick a color. Use the swatch to choose any colour (or type a hex into it).
- Read the codes. HEX, RGB and HSL update together — click to copy any of them.
- Build a palette. Open Advanced options for shades and the complementary colour.
About this tool
Choose a color and instantly see it in the three formats you actually use in CSS and design tools — HEX, RGB and HSL — kept in sync as you drag the picker. It’s the quick reference you reach for when you have a colour and need its code, or a code and want to eyeball it. The Advanced options open a strip of lighter and darker shades plus the complementary colour, so you can build a simple palette around a base; click any swatch to copy its hex.
What people use it for
