Frequently Asked Questions

What color formats are supported?

This tool supports conversion between HEX (Hexadecimal), RGB (Red, Green, Blue), HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness), HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value), and CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black).

How does the contrast checker work?

The contrast checker calculates the relative luminance of your selected color against pure white (#FFFFFF) and pure black (#000000). It then displays the WCAG 2.0 contrast ratio, letting you know if the color combination passes the AA (4.5:1) or AAA (7:1) accessibility standards for text.
