What is HSL Code?

HSL is a cylindrical color model that represents colors using Hue, Saturation, and Lightness components. Hue represents the color type (0-360 degrees), Saturation represents the intensity or purity of the color (0-100%), and Lightness represents how light or dark the color is (0-100%). HSL is more intuitive for humans as it closely matches how we naturally think about colors. It's particularly useful for color manipulation and creating color schemes in design applications.

Structure:

HSL is represented as hsl(H, S%, L%) where H is hue in degrees (0-360), S is saturation as a percentage (0-100%), and L is lightness as a percentage (0-100%).

Examples:

  • hsl(0, 100%, 50%) - Pure Red
  • hsl(120, 100%, 50%) - Pure Green
  • hsl(240, 100%, 50%) - Pure Blue
  • hsl(0, 0%, 100%) - White
  • hsl(0, 0%, 0%) - Black

What is HEX Code?

HEX color codes are a hexadecimal representation of RGB colors, widely used in web development and digital design. Each HEX code consists of a hash symbol (#) followed by six characters representing red, green, and blue components. The first two characters represent red, the next two green, and the last two blue. Each pair represents a value from 00 to FF in hexadecimal (0-255 in decimal). HEX codes provide a compact and standardized way to specify colors across different platforms and applications.

Structure:

HEX codes start with # followed by 6 hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F). The format is #RRGGBB where RR is red, GG is green, and BB is blue components in hexadecimal.

Examples:

  • #FF0000 - Pure Red
  • #00FF00 - Pure Green
  • #0000FF - Pure Blue
  • #FFFFFF - White
  • #000000 - Black

Logic behind HSL to HEX Conversion

HSL to HEX conversion involves converting HSL to RGB first, then RGB to HEX. The process uses the HSL-to-RGB algorithm: If saturation is 0, R=G=B=lightness. Otherwise, calculate chroma=saturation×(1-|2×lightness-1|), X=chroma×(1-|(hue/60°)mod 2-1|), and m=lightness-chroma/2. Based on hue sector (0-60°, 60-120°, etc.), assign RGB values from combinations of (chroma, X, 0) plus m. Finally, convert RGB values to 2-digit hexadecimal and concatenate with # prefix.

Use-cases of HSL and HEX

1Web development: Converting HSL color schemes to HEX for broader browser compatibility
2Design handoff: Converting designer HSL specifications to developer-friendly HEX codes
3Email templates: Converting HSL colors to HEX format required by email clients
4Legacy system integration: Converting modern HSL colors to traditional HEX format
5Cross-platform compatibility: Ensuring color consistency across different systems and tools

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the converted HEX color look exactly the same as my HSL color?
Yes, our converter uses precise mathematical algorithms to ensure the HEX output represents exactly the same color as your HSL input.
Can I convert HSL colors with transparency to HEX?
Standard HEX format doesn't support transparency. For colors with alpha values, consider using RGBA or 8-digit HEX format (not covered by this tool).
Why do some HSL values produce the same HEX code?
Different HSL combinations can represent the same color. For example, any hue with 0% saturation will produce gray, regardless of the hue value.
What happens if I enter HSL values outside the valid range?
Our converter automatically normalizes values to valid ranges: hue wraps around 360°, while saturation and lightness are clamped to 0-100%.
