# Color Space Converter Convert a color between HEX, RGB, HSL, CIELAB, and Display-P3 with CSS-ready output and gamut checks. > Canonical page: https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/color-space-converter - **Category:** Design - **Keywords:** color space converter, hex rgb hsl lab, display p3, css color ## Overview Shows web, perceptual, and wide-gamut representations of a CSS-style color using D65 color-space matrices. ## Inputs - **Color Value** (text): #FF6B35, rgb(255 107 53), hsl(14 100% 60%) - **Input Format** (select) ## When to use - When translating standard web colors like HEX or RGB into perceptual color spaces like CIELAB for design system calculations. - When adapting digital assets for wide-gamut displays by converting standard sRGB values to Display-P3. - When verifying if a specific color fits within standard sRGB or wide-gamut Display-P3 color boundaries. ## How it works - Input a CSS-style color value such as a HEX code, RGB, HSL, CIELAB, or Display-P3 string. - Select the input format or let the tool auto-detect the format of your color value. - The tool processes the color using D65 color-space matrices to calculate equivalent values across all supported spaces. - Review the CSS-ready output formats and check the gamut status to see if the color is within sRGB or Display-P3 limits. ## Use cases - Converting standard HEX codes to Display-P3 for modern iOS and macOS application UI design. - Translating RGB values to CIELAB to calculate perceptually uniform color palettes and contrast ratios. - Generating CSS-ready color declarations for web stylesheets from raw color values. ## Frequently asked questions ### What color spaces does this converter support? It supports conversions between HEX, RGB, HSL, CIELAB, and Display-P3. ### What is a gamut check? It determines whether a color can be accurately represented within a specific color space, such as sRGB or Display-P3, without clipping. ### How does the tool handle color space calculations? It uses standard D65 illuminant color-space matrices to perform precise mathematical conversions between web, perceptual, and wide-gamut spaces. ### Can I paste CSS-style color strings directly? Yes, you can input standard CSS formats like rgb(255 107 53) or hsl(14 100% 60%) directly into the input field. ### Do I need to manually specify the input format? No, the tool features an auto-detect option that automatically identifies the input format, though you can manually select it if preferred. ## Related tools - [OKLCH Color Converter](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/oklch-color-converter): Convert bidirectionally between HEX, RGB, HSL, OKLCH and Display-P3 using CSS Color 4 math, with gamut checks and out-of-gamut clipping suggestions - [AI Domain Name Idea Generator](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/ai-domain-name-idea-generator): Generate up to 10 creative domain names with AI and filter out already-registered ones via DNS + RDAP. - [CMYK Color Converter](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/cmyk-converter): Convert HEX, RGB, HSL, and CMYK colors into all four representations. - [Security Headers Checker](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/security-headers-checker): Audit HTTP response headers for security compliance — parses the raw headers you paste (no network) and grades them against the OWASP secure-header set with value-level checks: HSTS max-age, CSP unsafe-inline/eval, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, COOP/COEP/CORP and more.
