Question 1

How do I convert HEX to RGB?

Accepted Answer

Enter the HEX code (e.g. #7c3aed) and the converter instantly shows the RGB values (124, 58, 237). You can also do the reverse — enter RGB values to get the HEX code.

Question 2

What is the difference between HSL and HSV?

Accepted Answer

HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) and HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value/Brightness) are both cylindrical color models. HSL is used in CSS; HSV is common in design software. Both represent colors differently — 50% lightness in HSL ≠ 50% value in HSV.

Question 3

What are color harmonies?

Accepted Answer

Color harmonies are combinations of colors that look visually pleasing together. Complementary colors are opposite on the color wheel. Triadic uses three evenly spaced colors. Split-complementary uses the two colors adjacent to the complementary.

Question 4

Can I use this for CSS?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the output includes ready-to-copy CSS color strings: hex (#7c3aed), rgb(124, 58, 237), and hsl(263, 60%, 58%).
