Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between RGB, HEX, and HSL colors?

RGB (Red, Green, Blue) defines colors using light intensity values from 0-255 for each channel. HEX codes are a hexadecimal representation of RGB values, commonly used in web development. HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) represents colors in a more intuitive way based on color wheel position, intensity, and brightness.

Why do I need to convert between color formats?

Different platforms and applications require specific color formats. Web development typically uses HEX or RGB(A), design software often uses RGB or HSL for better control, and print design requires CMYK. Converting between formats ensures your colors appear consistent across different media.

How accurate is CMYK conversion for print?

Our CMYK conversion provides a good approximation for print planning, but keep in mind that screen colors (RGB) and print colors (CMYK) have different gamuts. For critical print projects, always verify colors with professional color management tools or physical color swatches.

Can I convert multiple colors at once?

Currently, our tool converts one color at a time. For batch conversion needs, you might consider our API service or desktop application with advanced color management features.
