Color Converter
HEX, RGB, and HSL are three ways to represent the same color. HEX is a compact notation popular in web design. RGB defines a color by its red, green, and blue light channel values. HSL describes color as hue, saturation, and lightness, making it more intuitive to adjust brightness or vividness without shifting the base hue.

What color formats does this support?
The tool converts between HEX (e.g., #ff6600), RGB (e.g., rgb(255, 102, 0)), and HSL (e.g., hsl(24, 100%, 50%)).
What is HSL and when is it useful?
HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, Lightness. It is more intuitive than RGB for adjusting colors - you can change lightness or saturation independently without affecting the hue.
Is my data sent to a server?
All conversion runs locally in your browser. No color values are transmitted anywhere.
Can I enter a color name like "red"?
The tool accepts HEX, RGB, and HSL formats. CSS color names are not supported directly - convert them first using browser DevTools.
Does it support alpha/transparency?
The current tool works with fully opaque colors. For RGBA or HSLA values, you will need to handle the alpha channel separately.
