What is a Color Converter?
A color converter translates a single color between the notations different tools expect. Enter a HEX code or RGB channels and it returns the matching HEX, RGB, and HSL values along with a swatch so you can confirm the shade by eye before you drop it into a theme.
It's built for Android tinkering: grab the exact HEX for a colors.xml entry, pick a saturated accent for a custom ROM, or fine-tune a launcher icon. Because the conversion is pure deterministic maths, the same input always produces the same output — no surprises between your design tool and your app.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do HEX, RGB, and HSL relate to each other?
They're three ways of describing the same color. HEX (like #2e7d32) is a compact six-digit form used in CSS and Android XML. RGB gives the red, green, and blue channels as 0–255 values. HSL describes hue, saturation, and lightness, which is often more intuitive when you want to nudge a color lighter or more vivid. This tool converts between all three.
Where do I use these color values on Android?
HEX values go straight into an app's colors.xml, a theme's accent, a launcher icon, or a custom ROM's system palette. RGB and HSL help when you're picking a matching shade or building a palette. Copy whichever format your tool or config file expects.
Does the converter round HSL values?
To one decimal place, and on purpose. Whole numbers name a different color: #4f46e5 rounds to hsl(243, 75%, 59%), which converts back to #5048e5, not the color you started with. With one decimal (hsl(243.4, 75.4%, 58.6%)) every 8-bit color converts back to the same HEX, so you can paste the HSL into a stylesheet or theme without the shade drifting.
What is an 8-digit HEX with alpha?
Android often uses #AARRGGBB where the first pair is the alpha (opacity) channel. This converter works with standard 6-digit #RRGGBB colors; to add transparency, prepend an alpha pair to the HEX value in your Android theme.
