Convert RGB to HEX and CMYK

Enter red, green, and blue channel values from 0 to 255. The converter produces a six-digit HEX code, HSL values, and a formula-based CMYK estimate. You can also edit CMYK percentages or apply a three-digit or six-digit HEX code to update the other systems.

Screen color and print color are not identical

RGB and HEX describe additive screen color. CMYK describes subtractive printing inks. This browser tool uses a common mathematical conversion without an ICC profile, paper definition, ink limit, black-generation rule, or printer calibration. The result is a planning estimate, not a press-ready color proof.

Why printed color can look different

A display emits light while printed material reflects light. Monitor calibration, color profile, paper, ink, coating, lighting, and printer settings can all change the result. Ask the printer for the required ICC profile and proofing process when brand or production accuracy matters.

Use the Color Picker to choose a visual HEX color and see RGB/HSL values, or the Color Blender to create intermediate HEX shades. This tool does not map colors to RAL, Pantone, paint brands, or physical swatches.

Convert RGB to HSL and HSL back to RGB

Edit hue from 0 to 360 degrees, saturation from 0 to 100 percent, and lightness from 0 to 100 percent. The converter updates RGB, HEX, the preview, and the formula-based CMYK estimate. Hue wraps around the color wheel, while saturation and lightness are clamped to valid percentages.

HSL is a convenient interface for screen colors, not a perceptually uniform color model or print proof. Use an approved ICC workflow when physical output must match a brand or production standard.
