What is the difference between HSV and HSL?

HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) and HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) are both cylindrical coordinate representations of colors, but they calculate the 'brightness' component differently, which affects how colors are perceived and adjusted.

Does this tool support alpha channels?

Yes, the tool supports HSVA and HSBA inputs, allowing you to include an alpha channel (opacity) in your conversion.

Can I convert multiple colors at once?

Yes, you can paste multiple color definitions into the input area, with each color on a new line, for efficient batch processing.

Which CSS formats are available?

You can choose between standard hsl() function syntax, CSS-friendly spacing, raw comma-separated values, or human-readable labeled formats.

Is HSB the same as HSV?

Yes, HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) and HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) are identical color models; the terms are used interchangeably.

HSV to HSL Converter

Examples

1. Web CSS Integration

Front-end Developer

Background

A designer provided a brand color palette using HSB values, but the project requires all colors to be defined using CSS HSL functions for easier theme manipulation.

Problem

Manually calculating the conversion for 20+ colors is prone to human error.

How to use

Paste the HSB list into the input field and select the 'hsl(0, 100%, 50%)' output format.

Input: hsb(210, 50%, 80%) | Format: hsl

Outcome

The tool outputs the exact CSS-ready hsl(210, 40%, 75%) string, ready to be copied into the project's stylesheet.

2. Design System Migration

UI Designer

Background

Migrating a design system from a tool that defaults to HSV to a new platform that utilizes HSL for better color consistency.

Problem

Need to convert a large list of colors while maintaining the alpha transparency values.

How to use

Input the list of HSVA values and select the 'labeled' format to verify the conversion results before implementation.

Input: hsva(0, 100%, 100%, 0.5) | Format: labeled
