▶FAQ6 questions
What is this color picker?
An online color selection and conversion tool. Input: click the palette or enter a color value (HEX/RGB/HSL). Output: the color in multiple formats and color schemes. Used for design, development, and color matching. Everything runs locally in your browser.
What is the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL?
HEX is a hexadecimal color code (e.g., #FF5733), commonly used in CSS. RGB is red-green-blue channel values (e.g., rgb(255, 87, 51)), range 0-255. HSL is hue, saturation, lightness (e.g., hsl(9, 100%, 60%)), more intuitive to understand.
How do I pick a color from the screen?
Click the "Color Picker" button, then click anywhere on screen to grab that color. This feature requires browser support for the EyeDropper API (Chrome/Edge support it; Firefox/Safari do not yet).
What are complementary and analogous colors?
Complementary colors are opposite on the color wheel (e.g., red and green), creating strong contrast. Analogous colors are adjacent on the wheel (e.g., red, orange, yellow), creating harmony. The tool generates these schemes automatically.
Does it support transparent colors?
Yes. For HEX, enter 8 digits (e.g., #FF573380). For RGB, use rgba(). For HSL, use hsla(). The last value represents opacity (0-1 or 00-FF).
Can I save color values?
The tool itself does not save colors. Copy the values to your design tool, CSS file, or notes. The browser may remember recently used colors (depending on browser settings).
