Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert RGB to HSL?
Enter your RGB values (Red, Green, Blue from 0-255) using the sliders or number inputs above. The tool instantly converts to HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) format.
What is the difference between RGB and HSL?
RGB defines colors by mixing red, green, and blue light (0-255 each). HSL defines colors by hue (0-360°), saturation (0-100%), and lightness (0-100%), which is more intuitive for design work.
When should I use HSL instead of RGB?
HSL is easier to work with when you need to create color variations. Adjusting lightness creates shades and tints, adjusting saturation creates muted versions, and adjusting hue shifts between colors — all more intuitive than changing RGB values.
Can I also convert HSL to RGB?
Yes. Click the 'HSL → RGB' button to switch modes. Enter HSL values and get the equivalent RGB and HEX color codes.
