What is a Color Picker?

A color picker lets you select a color visually and see it represented in different formats used in design and development. HEX is used in CSS, RGB is the standard screen color model, HSL is a more intuitive CSS format, HSV is common in design tools, and CMYK is essential for print. This tool converts between all five instantly and generates a range of shades and tints to help you build color palettes.
