#3f51b5rgb(63, 81, 181)hsl(231, 48, 48)cmyk(65, 55, 0, 29)background-color: #3f51b5;Our color converter supports HEX (hexadecimal), RGB (Red, Green, Blue), HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness), and CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) formats. You can convert from any format to any other format with real-time conversion and preview.
Simply enter a color value in any supported format (HEX, RGB, or HSL) and the tool will automatically convert it to all other formats. The color preview updates in real-time. You can copy any format value with one click, generate random colors, or insert sample colors.
RGB represents colors using Red, Green, and Blue values (0-255). HSL uses Hue (0-360°), Saturation (0-100%), and Lightness (0-100%). HSL is often more intuitive for designers as it separates color (hue) from its intensity (saturation) and brightness (lightness).
CMYK is primarily used for print design as it represents how printers mix cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks. Use CMYK when preparing designs for physical printing. For web and screen design, use HEX, RGB, or HSL formats instead.
Yes! The converter provides CSS-ready values for all formats. You can copy values formatted as rgb(), hsl(), or hex values that can be directly pasted into your CSS or inline styles. The tool also provides a complete background-color CSS declaration.
Yes, our converter uses standard color conversion algorithms to ensure accuracy across all formats. The conversions are mathematically precise and consistent with web standards. Note that CMYK is calculated for reference, as true CMYK conversion requires printer-specific color profiles.
The tool validates your input and displays error messages for invalid colors. HEX must be 6 characters (0-9, A-F), RGB values must be 0-255, and HSL must follow H:0-360, S/L:0-100 ranges. Clear error messages help you correct any format issues.
