How to Use the Color Picker & Converter

  1. Pick a starting color. Click the color swatch to open your browser's native picker, type a HEX code directly into the input field, or click Random color for inspiration.
  2. Fine-tune with the sliders. Drag the Red, Green, and Blue sliders to adjust the color precisely — the swatch and all format values update as you move them.
  3. Grab the format you need. Copy the HEX, RGB, HSL, or CSS value using the Copy button next to each field — paste it directly into your CSS, design tool, or code editor.
  4. Explore shades and tints. Use the strip at the bottom to see lighter and darker versions of your color — click any of them to switch the whole tool to that shade.
  5. Build a palette. Repeat the process for each color in your palette, copying values as you go to keep them consistent across a project.

Tip: If you're designing for accessibility, don't rely on the HEX value alone — check that your text and background color combination meets a minimum contrast ratio using a dedicated contrast checker before finalizing your palette.
