How to Use the Color Picker & Converter
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
