Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between HEX and RGB?
Both represent the same RGB color space. HEX uses a 6-digit hexadecimal notation (#RRGGBB), while RGB uses decimal values (rgb(R, G, B)). They are interchangeable.
What is HSL?
HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, Lightness. It is a more intuitive color model where you can easily adjust brightness or saturation without changing the base hue.
When should I use HSL over HEX?
HSL is better when you need to create color variations (lighter/darker shades, desaturated versions) because you can adjust individual components independently.
Does this support alpha/transparency?
This tool converts opaque colors. For transparency, append the alpha value manually (e.g., rgba or hsla) using the converted base values.
