A Simple Way to Pick the Right Color
Choosing the right color is not always easy. Sometimes you know how the color should feel, but you don't know its exact code. A color picker solves this problem by letting you visually select a color and instantly showing its technical values.
This tool is designed to make color selection comfortable for everyone, not just designers.
Where Color Pickers Are Used in Real Life
Color pickers are more useful than most people realize. They are commonly used in:
- • Website and app design
- • Logo and brand creation
- • School projects and presentations
- • Marketing graphics
- • Printing and digital artwork
Instead of guessing color codes, users can simply pick what looks right.
How the Color Picker Works Behind the Scenes
When you move the selector or slider, the tool converts the visual color into numeric values. These values represent how much red, green, and blue are mixed, or how the hue and brightness are adjusted.
All conversions happen instantly, so you can see results in real time.
Color Conversion Formula Used
RGB Formula
Red, Green, Blue values range from 0 to 255
HEX Conversion Formula
HEX = #RRGGBB
Where:
- • RR = Red value converted to hexadecimal
- • GG = Green value converted to hexadecimal
- • BB = Blue value converted to hexadecimal
HSL Conversion (Simplified)
HSL = Hue, Saturation, Lightness derived from RGB ratios
These formulas ensure the same color appears correctly across platforms.
