HSL to Hex Color Converter

What is an HSL Color Code?

The HSL color model represents colors in three components:

Hue (H): The type of color, measured in degrees (0–360).

• 0° = Red
• 120° = Green
• 240° = Blue

Saturation (S): The intensity of the color (0%–100%).

• 0% = gray (no color)
• 100% = fully vivid color

Lightness (L): The brightness of the color (0%–100%).

• 0% = black
• 50% = normal
• 100% = white

Example: hsl(210, 50%, 40%)

What is a Hex Color Code?

A Hexadecimal (Hex) color code is a six-digit value starting with a #. It is widely used in HTML, CSS, and design tools to represent colors.

• Format: #RRGGBB
• Example: #2C3E50

Each pair of digits (RR, GG, BB) represents the Red, Green, and Blue components of the color in hexadecimal format.

Manual Conversion Formula: HSL to Hex

If you prefer to calculate manually, here’s how:

• Convert Saturation and Lightness to decimal values (0–1).
• Calculate the chroma (C):
  • C = (1 - |2L - 1|) × S
• Find the X value:
  • X = C × (1 - |(H / 60) % 2 - 1|)
• Find the match (m):
  • m = L - C/2
• Depending on the Hue range, assign temporary RGB values.
• Convert RGB values to Hex format.

Example:

• Input: hsl(210, 50%, 40%)
• Output: #336699
