Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between HEX and RGB?

HEX (#RRGGBB) is a compact hex notation for web CSS. RGB (rgb(255, 87, 51)) expresses red, green, and blue channels from 0–255. Both represent the same color.

When should I use HSL?

HSL (hue, saturation, lightness) makes it easier to create lighter/darker variants of the same hue — useful for design systems and theme generation.

Can I enter a HEX code directly?

Yes. Type or paste a HEX value and the picker updates the swatch and RGB/HSL equivalents.

Are picked colors saved?

No. Colors exist only in your session. Copy values before leaving the page.

Is this color picker free?

Yes. Unlimited picking with no signup; everything runs locally in your browser.
