Frequently asked questions
- How are HEX, RGB, and HSL different?
- They describe the same color in different ways: HEX is a compact code like #3498DB, RGB lists red, green, and blue channels, and HSL uses hue, saturation, and lightness. For example, #3498DB equals rgb(52, 152, 219).
- Can I paste a HEX code with or without the hash symbol?
- Yes, the tool accepts a HEX value with or without the leading hash. Both 3498DB and #3498DB are read as the same color.
- Does it support transparency or alpha values?
- The converter focuses on solid colors across HEX, RGB, and HSL. Alpha or opacity values are not part of the conversion.
- Why does HSL sometimes show slightly rounded numbers?
- Hue, saturation, and lightness are rounded to whole numbers for readability, so converting back and forth can occasionally shift by one unit. The visible color stays essentially the same.
