About this conversion
HEX is the most common way to write colors on the web: a # followed by six hexadecimal digits, two each for the red, green, and blue channels (00-FF). Shorthand three-digit codes like #FA0 expand each digit, and the format maps one-to-one to RGB.
HSL expresses a color as hue (0-360° on the color wheel), saturation, and lightness percentages. It is far more intuitive to adjust than RGB: shifting lightness or saturation keeps the same base hue, which makes HSL popular for building color variations by hand.
To convert HEX to HSL, the color is first interpreted in the sRGB color space and then expressed in HSL notation. Paste a HEX value like #1FA2FF above and copy the HSL result. The conversion happens instantly in your browser, and nothing is uploaded.
