Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between HEX, RGB, HSL, and HSV?
HEX (#FF0000) is the hexadecimal color format used in web design and CSS. RGB (rgb(255, 0, 0)) represents colors as combinations of red, green, and blue values, commonly used in programming. HSL (hsl(0, 100%, 50%)) uses hue, saturation, and lightness — intuitive for adjusting colors. HSV (hsv(0, 100%, 100%)) uses hue, saturation, and value — preferred by design tools like Photoshop and Figma.
When should I use each color format?
Use HEX for CSS and web development. Use RGB when programming in JavaScript, Python, or other languages. Use HSL when you want to adjust colors intuitively (e.g., make a color lighter or more saturated). Use HSV when working with professional design tools like Photoshop, Figma, or Sketch.
How does the recent colors history work?
The converter automatically saves the last 10 colors you've used to your browser's local storage. These colors appear in the "Recent Colors" section and persist even after you close the page. You can click any recent color to load it instantly, or click "Clear" to remove the history. This data is stored only on your device — it's never sent to any server.
Does this tool support named colors?
Yes! You can enter any CSS named color like 'red', 'blue', 'green', 'transparent', or even 'rebeccapurple'. The converter will recognize it and display all four formats. This is helpful when you know the color name but need the HEX or RGB value for your code.
