About Color Picker
Working with colors is a fundamental part of web development and design. Our Color Picker lets you select any color using the native browser color picker or by entering exact values in HEX, RGB, or HSL format. Every change is instantly reflected across all three formats, so you always have the CSS string you need. A large preview swatch shows the exact color, and one-click copy buttons let you paste it straight into your code.
How to Use
Click the color swatch or the browser color picker to visually choose a color. Alternatively, type a HEX code (e.g. #3b82f6), adjust the RGB sliders (0-255), or set HSL values (hue 0-360, saturation and lightness 0-100). All fields stay in sync automatically. Use the Copy buttons next to each format to grab the CSS string. Below the picker, choose a palette mode such as complementary, analogous, triadic, or split-complementary to generate harmonious color schemes based on your selected color.

Common Use Cases
Front-end developers use color pickers when defining design tokens, choosing accessible contrast ratios, or building theme systems. Designers rely on palette generators to create cohesive color schemes for branding, marketing materials, and UI kits. The HSL format is particularly useful for programmatically generating shades and tints by adjusting the lightness value while keeping hue and saturation constant.
