Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between HEX and RGB?
What is the difference between HEX and RGB? HEX is a 6-digit hexadecimal representation, while RGB uses decimal values 0-255 for each channel.
Q: Why convert between color formats?
Why convert between color formats? Different tools use different formats. CSS accepts HEX, HSL, and RGB. Photoshop uses RGB or CMYK.
Q: What is the difference between HSL and OKLCH?
What is the difference between HSL and OKLCH? HSL uses cylindrical coordinates (hue, saturation, lightness). OKLCH is a perceptually uniform color space, meaning equal numeric changes produce equal visual changes. OKLCH is more modern and accurate.
Q: Why does my CMYK value look different on screen?
Why does my CMYK value look different on screen? CMYK is for print and uses ink mixing. RGB/HSL is for screens and uses light. The conversion is approximate because screen colors (additive) differ from print colors (subtractive).
Q: Can I batch convert multiple colors at once?
Can I batch convert multiple colors at once? Currently the tool converts one color at a time. For batch processing, copy the conversion logic into a spreadsheet or script using the same formulas.
