Color Picker / Format Converter / Contrast Checker
Online color picker that converts between HEX / RGB / HSL / HSV / CSS named colors / Tailwind arbitrary-value syntax — click to copy any format. Includes a screen color picker (EyeDropper API in Chromium 95+), brightness gradient, alpha channel and WCAG 2.1 contrast checker (AA / AAA).
Usage
Pick colors, convert between multiple formats and check WCAG contrast. Includes a native color picker, screen color picker (Chrome/Edge 95+ EyeDropper API), and text input parsing HEX / RGB / HSL / named CSS colors.
Exports HEX (6/8 digits) / RGB(A) / HSL(A) / HSV / CSS variable / Tailwind arbitrary-value. Contrast uses the WCAG 2.1 formula — AA ≥ 4.5 (normal text) / AAA ≥ 7.0.
Use cases
FAQ
Why doesn't the screen color picker work?
The EyeDropper API is Chrome / Edge 95+ only. Firefox and Safari haven't shipped it — take a screenshot and pick from the image instead.
What's WCAG AA / AAA?
Web accessibility levels. AA requires contrast ≥ 4.5 for normal text (3 for large text). AAA is stricter: ≥ 7 / 4.5.
How do I get a color with alpha?
Enable the alpha channel — output switches to #RRGGBBAA (8-digit hex) or rgba(...) form.
What's a Tailwind arbitrary value?
Tailwind v3+ supports inline values like bg-[#3b82f6]. The tool can emit that form directly.
