What each colour notation is actually good at
HEX, RGB and HSL describe the same colours; they differ in what is easy to
change. HEX is compact and is what design tools hand you. RGB is the same
information in decimal, and gains an alpha channel in its rgba()
form. HSL is the one worth understanding, because it is the only one you can
reason about.
Why HSL makes palettes easy
HSL splits a colour into hue (position on the colour wheel, 0–360), saturation (how vivid, 0–100%) and lightness (0% black to 100% white). That separation is what makes systematic variation possible:
- A hover state is the same colour with lightness reduced by ten points.
- A disabled state is the same colour with saturation dropped.
- A complementary accent is the same colour with hue rotated 180 degrees.
Each of those is a one-number change in HSL and an opaque recalculation in HEX. This is why design systems tend to define colours in HSL even when they ship HEX.
Contrast is not lightness
Two colours with the same HSL lightness can have very different perceived brightness, because the eye is far more sensitive to green than to blue. Pure yellow and pure blue are both 50% lightness and are nowhere near equally bright. For accessibility, use a WCAG contrast checker rather than comparing lightness values — the target is 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text.
Conversion is arithmetic and runs entirely in your browser.
