Color Converter
Convert between HEX, RGB, HSL and HSV. Live preview swatch and a tiny palette of harmonies (complement, analogous, triad).
Built for fast, private, no-nonsense work.
Color Converter is part of PixHaul — a small set of browser-based tools we built because most of the “free online” alternatives are slow, ad-laden, and upload your files before they’ll process them. PixHaul does none of that.
Color Converter in four steps.
- 1
Pick a starting color
Click the color square to use the native picker, or paste a HEX, RGB or HSL value into the matching field.
- 2
Read the other formats
All four formats update live. Click Copy on the one you need.
- 3
Check accessibility
The contrast tiles show ratios against black and white text. AA needs 4.5:1 for body text; AAA needs 7:1.
- 4
Explore harmonies
Click any color in the Complement, Analogous, Triad or Tetrad strips to make it the new base color and repeat.
Questions, asked & answered.
Why are there so many color formats?
Different tools use different formats. HEX is CSS-friendly. RGB is how computers store color. HSL and HSV are how humans think about color (hue, saturation, lightness/value). Having all four lets you copy whichever your tool expects.
What is contrast ratio?
Contrast ratio measures how readable colored text is against a background. WCAG accessibility guidelines require 4.5:1 (AA) for body text and 7:1 (AAA) for stricter compliance. We show both ratios next to your color.
What’s a color harmony?
A harmony is a set of colors picked by mathematical rules — complementary is opposite on the wheel, triad is three points evenly spaced, etc. They’re a quick way to find palettes that look pleasing together.
Can I save my palettes?
Not yet — palette saving is on the roadmap. For now, copy the values you like into your design tool or a notes app.
Does it support color spaces like P3 or LAB?
Not currently. We support the four standard web formats that 99 % of tools accept: HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV. Wider gamut support (P3, LAB, OKLCH) is on the roadmap.
Are my colors stored or tracked?
No. All conversion is in-browser math. We never store the colors you pick.
