About this tool
The color format converter takes a single HEX color input and shows the equivalent value in five formats: HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV, and CMYK. This is useful when you have a color from one tool or specification and need it in another format. For example, you might copy a HEX code from a design file but need the RGB values for a Canvas API call, or you might need CMYK percentages for a print stylesheet.
Each output value can be copied with one click. The math behind the conversions follows the standard algorithms for color space transformation, so the values will match what you get from tools like Photoshop or Figma.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between HSL and HSV?
HSL stands for hue, saturation, lightness. HSV stands for hue, saturation, value (brightness). They describe color differently: HSL treats 50% lightness as the pure hue, while HSV treats 100% value as the brightest version of the hue. HSL is more common in CSS; HSV is used in many design applications.
When would I use CMYK values?
CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, key/black) is the color model used in print. If you are preparing artwork for a printer or working with a print design tool, CMYK values are what you need.
How accurate are the conversions between color formats?
The conversions are mathematically exact for round-trip HEX to RGB. HSL, HSV, and CMYK values are rounded to the nearest integer, which can introduce a rounding difference of about 1 unit when converting back.
