Type a HEX, RGB, HSL or CMYK value and get all the others instantly, with a live swatch. Built for web and print.
This color converter translates a single color between the four codes designers use every day: HEX and RGB for screens, HSL for intuitive tweaking, and CMYK for print. HEX is just RGB in base-16 — #2F6BFF is R47 G107 B255. CMYK is derived from RGB with K = 1 − max(R,G,B)/255 and each ink = (1 − channel/255 − K) / (1 − K), which is the value you hand to a printer.
Screens mix light (RGB) but presses mix ink (CMYK), so a bright screen color can look duller on paper. Converting to CMYK percentages before you send a file to print — business cards, banners, packaging — lets you check and correct colors up front. For a perfect match, printers apply ICC profiles, but these percentages are the right starting point.
