Colour Code Tool

Pick a colour and instantly get its color codes — HEX, RGB, RGBA, HSL and CMYK — each with a one-tap copy button.

What is the Colour Code Tool?

Every colour on a screen or in print is described by codes: HEX for web design, RGB and HSL for screens, and CMYK for printing. This color picker converts between all of them instantly — pick a colour once and read every code.

Each code has its own copy button, and the tool also generates a strip of shades and tints of your colour for matching palettes.

How to use the Colour Code Tool

  1. Click the colour swatch to pick a colour, or type a HEX code.
  2. Read the HEX, RGB, RGBA, HSL and CMYK rows.
  3. Tap the copy button next to any code you need.
  4. Try the shades and tints strip for lighter and darker versions.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between HEX, RGB and HSL?

They describe the same colour differently: HEX is a compact code for web design (#7C3AED), RGB mixes red, green and blue light, and HSL describes hue, saturation and lightness — easiest for humans to adjust.

What is CMYK used for?

CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) is the print model. Use the CMYK values when sending a colour to a printer or print shop.

Can I enter a colour code instead of picking?

Yes — type any HEX code (like #2563EB) in the box and all the other formats update instantly.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up — copy as many codes as you need.
