Color Picker
Pick colors and get their HEX, RGB, and HSL values. Perfect for art projects, web design, and learning about colors.
About This Tool
The Color Picker is a visual tool for selecting colors and getting their values in different formats. Use the color selector to find the perfect shade, then copy the HEX code (like #FF5733), RGB values (like 255, 87, 51), or HSL values for use in design projects, websites, or digital art. The tool helps you understand how colors are represented digitally and how different color formats relate to each other.
Frequently Asked Questions
HEX codes represent colors using hexadecimal numbers. The format is #RRGGBB, where RR is red, GG is green, and BB is blue. Each pair ranges from 00 (none) to FF (maximum). For example, #FF0000 is pure red.
RGB defines colors by mixing Red, Green, and Blue light (0-255 each). HSL defines colors by Hue (the color, 0-360°), Saturation (intensity, 0-100%), and Lightness (brightness, 0-100%). HSL is often more intuitive for finding related colors.
HEX codes are common in web design and most design software. RGB is used in digital screens and programming. HSL is useful when you want to find lighter/darker versions of a color. All three represent the same colors differently.
Use color theory! Complementary colors are opposite on the color wheel. Analogous colors are neighbors. You can use HSL to find variations—keep the same hue and adjust saturation or lightness for harmonious palettes.
