HEX vs. RGB vs. HSL: When to Use Each
- HEX (#00D4AA): The compact 6-character industry standard in CSS, Figma, and graphic design software.
- RGB (rgb(0, 212, 170)): Ideal when working with alpha transparency via
rgba()in web development and Canvas manipulation. - HSL (hsl(168, 100%, 42%)): Perfect for generating harmonious design systems. Adjusting lightness (L) lets you create lighter tints or darker shades while keeping the underlying hue consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL?
HEX is a 6-character hexadecimal notation (#00D4AA) common in CSS. RGB defines red, green, and blue light intensity from 0 to 255. HSL defines Hue (angle 0-360°), Saturation (0-100%), and Lightness (0-100%), which is intuitive for creating tints and shades.
Can I paste my own HEX or RGB code into the tool?
Yes! Type or paste any 6-digit HEX code (e.g. #00d4aa) or RGB string to instantly update the visual color swatch and convert formats.
