Frequently asked questions

Which colour formats does it convert between?
HEX, RGB, HSL and CMYK — enter a colour in any one format and see it instantly translated into the other three.
What are the generated shades, tints and complementary colour for?
Shades (mixed with black) and tints (mixed with white) give you a ready-made palette around your base colour, while the complementary colour sits opposite it on the colour wheel — useful for accents and contrast in a design.
Why might CMYK values look approximate compared to a print shop's output?
CMYK conversion here uses a standard mathematical formula from RGB, but real print output also depends on the specific ink, paper and printer profile — for critical print jobs, always confirm colours with your printer's colour proofing.
Is the colour I enter sent anywhere?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded or stored. No account is required.
Do I need to install anything or sign up?
No. It runs entirely in your browser — no software install, no account, no email required.
