About the Color Picker & Palette Tool

The Color Picker lets you choose a colour and instantly see its HEX, RGB, and HSL values, then build a harmonious palette around it — everything a designer or developer needs to nail a colour in one place.

It bridges the gap between picking a shade and using it in CSS or a design file.

How to use it

  1. Pick a colour from the picker or enter a value.
  2. Read its HEX, RGB, and HSL codes.
  3. Generate a matching palette.
  4. Copy the codes into your stylesheet or design.

How it works

The tool converts your chosen colour between HEX, RGB, and HSL — the same colour expressed in different models — and derives complementary or analogous shades to form a palette. Seeing all formats at once removes the guesswork of matching a value across tools.

It runs locally, updating instantly as you adjust hue, saturation, or lightness.

Worked example

Pick a brand green and the tool shows its HEX, RGB, and HSL codes plus a coordinated palette — ready to paste into CSS variables for a consistent theme.
