Color Converter
Enter RGB values (0-255 each) to convert a color into its HEX code and HSL equivalent.
What this calculator does
This tool converts a color defined by red, green, and blue (RGB) values into its hexadecimal (HEX) color code and its HSL (hue, saturation, lightness) representation, the three most common ways colors are described in web design and graphics software.
How the calculation works
Each RGB channel (0-255) is converted to a two-digit hexadecimal number and combined into a six-digit HEX code. To find HSL, the calculator normalizes the RGB values to a 0-1 scale, finds the lightness as the average of the highest and lowest channel values, then derives saturation and hue from how the channels differ from each other.
This tool is intended for general design and educational reference.
