Convert colors for the web, design and print

This color converter translates any color between HEX (#6a46f5), RGB, HSL, HSV and CMYK. Paste a value from CSS, Figma, Canva or Photoshop, or type a color name like “teal”, and copy the format you need with one click.

It also checks text contrast against white and black (WCAG guidelines) so your buttons and headings stay readable, and makes a ladder of lighter and darker shades for a palette.

Which color format should I use?

  • HEX and RGB: websites, apps and most design tools.
  • HSL: easy to tweak by hand. Change the lightness to get a lighter or darker version.
  • CMYK: printing. Values here are a simple conversion; your printer's profile may differ slightly.

Questions

What does the contrast ratio mean?

It measures how readable text is on a background. WCAG asks for at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.

Can I paste a color with transparency?

Yes. 8-digit HEX (#RRGGBBAA), rgba() and hsla() are understood, and the alpha value is kept in the HEX, RGB and HSL results.
