Convert between HEX, RGB, HSL, and CMYK
The color converter is an essential tool for designers, web developers, digital artists, and creatives that allows converting colors between the main representation formats: hexadecimal (HEX), RGB (Red, Green, Blue), HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness), and CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black). Perfect for web design, frontend development, graphic design, printing, creating color palettes, and any work requiring precise color specification in different systems and platforms.
The tool translates color representations between different chromatic models while maintaining visual fidelity:
Select the color input type (HEX, RGB, or HSL) you want to convert.
Enter the color value in the selected format or use the visual color picker.
Click 'Convert' to instantly get the color in all available formats.
Copy any of the resulting values (HEX, RGB, HSL, CMYK) to use in your project.
This tool is fundamental in multiple creative disciplines:
Web developers who need to convert colors between CSS (HEX/RGB) and design systems.
Graphic designers preparing files for printing who must convert RGB to CMYK.
UI/UX designers creating color palettes who need consistent values in different formats.
Digital artists working with different software and platforms that use different color models.
HEX (#667eea) is common on the web, RGB for screens, CMYK for printing. Always check CMYK colors before printing.
HSL is ideal for creating color variations: adjust L (lightness) for lighter/darker shades while keeping the hue.
RGB colors may appear different when printed in CMYK. Use ICC color profiles for greater accuracy.
RGB is additive (light) used on screens, CMYK is subtractive (pigment) used in printing. RGB can show more colors than CMYK, which is why some bright colors don't print the same.
HEX/RGB are for screens (light), printing uses CMYK (ink). The conversion can change bright or saturated colors. Always test prints before mass production.
RGB(255, 0, 0) means: 255 red, 0 green, 0 blue = pure red. Each value ranges from 0-255. RGB(0,0,0) is black, RGB(255,255,255) is white.
