What does the Color Converter do?
Enter a colour in any format — #4F46E5, rgb(79, 70, 229), hsl(243, 75%, 59%), cmyk(…), three numbers or a named colour like “teal” — and the converter shows HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV and CMYK, each with a copy button.
The contrast ratio against white and black text tells you whether the colour meets WCAG AA (4.5:1) for normal text — useful when choosing button and background colours.
How to use the Color Converter
- Type a colour value or use the picker.
- Copy any of the converted formats.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between HSL and HSV?
Both use hue and saturation; HSL uses lightness (50% is pure colour), HSV uses value/brightness (100% is pure colour).
Is CMYK conversion accurate for print?
It is approximate. Ask your printer for their ICC profile for exact results.
Does it support transparency?
Yes, rgba(), hsla() and 8-digit HEX.
