Free Color Picker: HEX, RGB & HSL Codes in One Click

What the color picker does

See a color you love — on a website, in a photo, in your head — and need its exact code? The color picker turns any shade into the three code formats designers and developers use daily. Pick a color, watch the codes update live, copy the HEX with one click.

HEX vs RGB vs HSL — which to use?

  • HEX (`#2563EB`) — compact, the standard for CSS and web design. Use this by default.
  • RGB (`37, 99, 235`) — mixes red, green, blue light. Common in design tools and image editors.
  • HSL (`221, 83%, 53%`) — hue, saturation, lightness. Best when you want to tweak a shade (make it lighter, more vivid) without guessing.

They all describe the same color — pick whichever your tool expects.

Practical uses

  • Web design: grab brand colors for CSS
  • Presentations: match slide colors to your logo
  • Image editing: sample exact shades for touch-ups, then convert or compress your visuals for the web

Tips

  • Copy HEX for the web — it pastes straight into stylesheets and most design tools.
  • Use HSL to build palettes — nudge lightness up/down for matching shades and tints.
  • Test contrast — light text needs dark backgrounds and vice versa; don’t rely on brand colors alone for readability.
