Color tools FAQ
Which color format should I use for CSS?
HEX, RGB, HSL, and modern CSS color syntax all work in browsers. HEX is compact, RGB is useful with opacity, and HSL is often easier when adjusting hue, saturation, or lightness.
What can I use CMYK conversion for?
Use CMYK conversion to estimate print color values. For final print colors, check the color profile, paper, and output settings with your printer or design software.
Can I pick colors from a local image?
Yes. The image color tools process local images in your browser to pick individual colors or extract a palette.
How do I check if text is readable on a background?
Use the Color Contrast Checker with your text color and background color. It calculates the contrast ratio and indicates whether the combination meets common accessibility targets.
