How it works

Pick your color in three steps

1. Select a color visually

Click anywhere on the color wheel or gradient palette to pick a hue, then adjust saturation and brightness using the slider controls to fine-tune your selection.

2. Enter values directly

Type a HEX code, RGB values, or HSL values to jump straight to a specific color. The visual picker updates in real time to reflect any value you enter.

3. Copy your color code

Use the one-click copy button next to your preferred format — HEX, RGB, RGBA, HSL, or HSLA — to grab the value and paste it into your CSS, Figma file, or any design tool.

FAQ

Common questions

This color picker outputs color values in five formats: HEX (e.g., #3a86ff), RGB (e.g., rgb(58, 134, 255)), RGBA with an alpha channel for transparency, HSL (hue, saturation, lightness), and HSLA. Each format has different practical uses — HEX is standard in CSS and HTML; RGB and RGBA are preferred when you need transparency control in web or app design; HSL is increasingly favoured in design systems because adjusting lightness or saturation while holding the hue constant is intuitive and predictable.
HEX is a hexadecimal string encoding red, green, and blue channels — for example, #ff5733 encodes red=255, green=87, blue=51. RGB uses decimal integers for the same three channels, each ranging from 0 to 255. HSL represents color as Hue (0–360° on the color wheel), Saturation (0–100%), and Lightness (0–100%). All three formats describe the same colour space — the choice between them is primarily about which is most convenient or readable in your particular workflow.
Yes. Any HEX code, RGB value, or HSL value from Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch, or any other design tool can be pasted directly into the corresponding input field. The visual picker will update to display that color, and you can then copy it in whichever output format your project requires. This is particularly useful for converting colors between formats — for example, if a design file uses HEX but your CSS codebase uses HSL for maintainability.
Yes. The RGBA and HSLA outputs include an alpha channel that controls opacity on a scale from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque). You can adjust the alpha slider to set the desired transparency level. This is useful for overlay effects, semi-transparent backgrounds, and glass-effect UI components. Note that standard 6-digit HEX codes do not carry transparency information — use 8-digit HEX (e.g., #3a86ff80) or RGBA in your CSS when transparency is required.

About the Color Picker

The Color Picker is a browser-based tool that lets designers and developers select, enter, and convert colors between multiple formats without switching applications. It is used during web design, UI development, branding, and graphic design workflows wherever precise color values need to be identified and transferred. Its multi-format output makes it compatible with CSS, Figma, Adobe, and any code-based workflow without additional conversion steps.

Benefits

  • Visual color wheel with separate hue, saturation, and brightness slider controls
  • Real-time preview updates as you interact with the wheel or type any input value
  • One-click copy buttons for HEX, RGB, RGBA, HSL, and HSLA formats simultaneously
  • No image upload or canvas required — works as a standalone interactive color selector
