Color Format Converter

💡 What Are Color Formats?

Color formats are methods for expressing colors digitally. Common formats include:

• HEX: A 6-digit code used in web design (e.g., #ff5733)
• RGB: Represents red, green, and blue light levels (e.g., rgb(255,87,51))
• HSL: Hue, saturation, and lightness values (e.g., hsl(14,100%,60%))
• HSV: Hue, saturation, and value — great for color pickers
• CMYK: Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black — used in printing

🎨 HEX vs RGB vs HSL

Each format has its strength: HEX is compact, RGB is great for screens, and HSL is more intuitive for designers because it separates color into components you can visualize.

📚 Color Format Examples

• CSS Design: HEX and HSL for defining brand color schemes
• Printing: CMYK for exact color match on paper
• Digital Tools: RGB and HSV in design and video apps

🛠️ How the Converter Works

This tool detects the HEX input and automatically calculates and displays its RGB, HSL, and CMYK equivalents using standard formulas.

🌐 Browser Color Support

All modern browsers support HEX, RGB, and HSL formats in CSS. CMYK and HSV are not CSS-supported but are commonly used in design tools and printing workflows.
