Convert a colour
Pick a colour and read it as hex, RGB, HSL and CMYK at once.
Hex
#b4530aRGB
rgb(180, 83, 10)CSS rgb
rgb(180 83 10)HSL
hsl(26, 89%, 37%)CMYK
0%, 54%, 94%, 29%CMYK here is the straightforward conversion, which is what any screen tool can honestly give you. Matching a specific press needs that printer’s own colour profile.
Questions
- Can I paste a colour in rather than pick one?
- Yes. Hex with or without the hash, three digit shorthand, rgb() and hsl() are all understood, in either comma or space separated form.
- Is the CMYK accurate for printing?
- It is the standard conversion, which is what any screen based tool can honestly give you. Matching a specific printing press needs that press colour profile, so treat this as a starting point rather than a final answer.
- What is HSL useful for?
- Adjusting a colour rather than describing it. Keeping the hue and changing only the lightness gives you a matching lighter or darker shade, which is much harder to do by eye in hex.
