Frequently asked questions

Which color format is best for web projects?

HEX is common for base colors, RGB is convenient for dynamic opacity, and HSL is useful for hue/lightness adjustments.

Why do converted colors look slightly different?

Display profiles and color spaces can vary across devices; conversion math is consistent but rendering environments differ.

Can I convert 3-digit HEX like #0af?

Yes, shorthand HEX expands to full 6-digit form before conversion.

Does this support alpha/transparency values?

Core conversion focuses on color channels; use RGBA/HSLA workflows when transparency is needed.

Can I use this for Tailwind or CSS variable setup?

Yes. Convert once, then store values in design tokens or utility config for consistent theming.
