When to use

When you need to adjust color brightness or saturation levels in design software that uses the HSV/HSB model.
When migrating color palettes from web-based CSS projects to professional graphics editing tools.
When you need to generate programmatic color variations by manipulating hue and value parameters.

How it works

1Paste your HEX color codes into the input area, ensuring one color per line.
2Select your preferred output format, such as standard HSV, HSB, or CSS-compatible syntax.
3Click the convert button to instantly generate the corresponding color values for your project.

Use cases

Standardizing color palettes across different design platforms.
Creating dynamic color themes for web applications using CSS variables.
Adjusting color intensity for UI elements in mobile app development.

Examples

1. CSS Theme Development

Frontend Developer

Background

A developer is building a dark mode theme and needs to adjust the brightness of primary brand colors.

Problem

HEX codes are difficult to manipulate for brightness adjustments compared to the Value parameter in HSV.

How to use

Input the brand HEX codes and select the 'CSS' output format to get ready-to-use hsva() values.

Format: CSS

Outcome

The developer receives precise hsva() values, allowing them to programmatically lower the 'Value' component to create darker shades.

2. Graphic Design Asset Migration

Graphic Designer

Background

A designer is moving assets from a web-based design tool to Adobe Photoshop.

Problem

Photoshop's color picker often requires HSB values for specific color adjustments.

How to use

Paste the project's HEX color list and select the 'labeled-hsb' format.

Format: labeled-hsb

Outcome

FAQ

What is the difference between HSV and HSB?

They are essentially the same color model. HSV stands for Hue, Saturation, and Value, while HSB stands for Hue, Saturation, and Brightness. Both describe the same color space.

Does this tool support alpha channels?

Yes, if you provide a 8-digit HEX code (e.g., #ff000080), the tool will include the alpha value in the output.

Can I convert multiple colors at once?

Yes, you can paste a list of HEX codes, one per line, and the tool will process them all simultaneously.

Which output formats are available?

You can choose from several formats including standard function syntax (hsv/hsb), CSS-ready strings, raw comma-separated values, or labeled formats for easy reading.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes, this is a free, web-based utility with no limitations on the number of conversions you can perform.
