HEX (Hexadecimal): A 6-digit web notation (e.g., #FF5733) representing Red, Green, and Blue values in base-16. Essential for CSS, HTML, and web design.
RGB (Red, Green, Blue): An additive color model used for screen display. Each channel ranges 0-255, representing light intensity. If you're working with design systems, you might also find the HSL representation more intuitive for adjustments.
Use HEX for web development; RGB for CSS, digital graphics, and screen design. For print projects, you'll need to convert your colors to the CMYK model instead.
The visual preview shows how the color renders on screen. Text contrast is automatically calculated for readability.
For accessibility, ensure sufficient contrast between text and background colors (WCAG AA: 4.5:1).
Bulk conversion is ideal for converting design system tokens, theme colors, or brand palettes from HEX to RGB for CSS implementation. For a complete palette analysis, you might want to use the image color palette extractor to pull colors directly from your brand assets.
