Guide & Terminology

What are HEX, RGB, and HSL?

Representing colors in web design can be done in various formats, each serving a unique purpose.

How to Use

  • Real-time Conversion: Input or paste a value into any HEX, RGB, or HSL field to instantly view the converted equivalents.
  • Color Picker & Sliders: Use the intuitive sliders or the visual color picker UI to tweak colors and obtain exact values.
  • Automated Palette: Selecting a base color will automatically generate a dynamic 11-step light-to-dark palette (Shades & Tints) ranging from 50 to 950.
  • Export: Click the "Download" button to save the generated palette as a CSS variables file for immediate use in your projects.

Terminology

  • HEX (Hexadecimal): A 6-character code like #10B981 representing red, green, and blue intensities. It's the most common format in CSS because it's concise.
  • RGB (Red, Green, Blue): Specifies the intensity of each primary color of light from 0 to 255. Maps directly to screen color rendering.
  • HSL: Defines colors intuitively via Hue (0-360 angle), Saturation (0-100% intensity), and Lightness (0-100% brightness).

Common Use Cases

  • Instantly generating a full Tailwind CSS compatible monochromatic palette (50-950) from a single brand hex code.
  • Extracting the exact RGB values of a color to use in a canvas drawing script.
