Color Format Options
Hex Color Code (#RRGGBB)
The standard 6-digit hexadecimal color format used in HTML, CSS, and design tools. Each pair of digits represents red, green, and blue values from 00 to FF.
Short Hex (#RGB)
A condensed 3-digit version where each digit is duplicated. For example, #F3A becomes #FF33AA. Only usable when each pair of hex digits would be the same.
RGB Format
The rgb() function notation used in CSS, with values for red, green, and blue components, each ranging from 0 to 255.
HSL Format
The hsl() function notation, representing hue (0-360°), saturation (0-100%), and lightness (0-100%). Often more intuitive for color adjustments.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find accessible color combinations?
For accessible design, aim for high contrast between text and background colors. Use our color type filters to generate darker colors for text and lighter colors for backgrounds (or vice versa).
What's the difference between color types?
Bright colors have high saturation and brightness, dark colors have low brightness, pastel colors have high brightness with medium saturation, and monochrome colors have zero saturation (grayscale).
How can I create a color scheme with coordinating colors?
Use the hue range feature to constrain colors to a specific part of the color wheel. Complementary colors are approximately 180° apart, while analogous colors are close together on the wheel.
How do I convert between color formats?
You can generate colors in any format using the format selector. Our converter accurately translates between hex, RGB, and HSL formats while maintaining the exact same color.
Can I save my favorite color combinations?
Yes! The "Save as Palette" button allows you to download a color palette file that can be imported into many design applications or saved for future reference.
