ColorHEX to RGB
Decode opaque 3- or 6-digit HEX into 8-bit sRGB channels. RGB, HEX, HSL, HSV, and RGBA values use the declared sRGB-derived profile.
ColorRGB to HEX
Serialize three integer 8-bit sRGB channels as six-digit HEX. RGB, HEX, HSL, HSV, and RGBA values use the declared sRGB-derived profile.
ColorRGB to HSL
Map encoded sRGB channels into the CSS HSL coordinate model. RGB, HEX, HSL, HSV, and RGBA values use the declared sRGB-derived profile.
ColorHSL to RGB
Resolve HSL coordinates and quantize to nearest 8-bit sRGB channels. RGB, HEX, HSL, HSV, and RGBA values use the declared sRGB-derived profile.
ColorRGB to CMYK
Estimate CMYK coordinates without an ICC output profile. Source RGB/HEX is treated as sRGB; CMYK output is unprofiled and is not a press-ready separation.
ColorHEX to RGBA
Decode 3, 4, 6, or 8 HEX digits into sRGB and alpha. RGB, HEX, HSL, HSV, and RGBA values use the declared sRGB-derived profile.
