About the HSB to HEX Converter

Our HSB to HEX Converter is a helpful tool for graphic designers and web developers. It allows you to convert colors from the HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) model to the hexadecimal (HEX) format used in web design. This is especially useful when you've picked a color in a design program that uses HSB and need the correct code to use in your website's CSS or HTML.

We created this tool to make your workflow faster. Instead of doing manual calculations or opening heavy software, you can get the HEX code you need in an instant. Just use the color picker or enter your HSB values, and the tool does the rest. It's a simple way to make sure the colors you design with are the same colors that appear on the screen.

How to Use This Tool

  • Use the Color Picker: Click the large color swatch to open your browser's color picker and visually choose a color. The HSB inputs and the final HEX code will update in real-time.
  • Enter HSB Values: Type in the values for Hue (0-360), Saturation (0-100), and Brightness (0-100) into their respective fields.
  • Get the HEX Code: The tool will instantly show you the converted HEX code and update the color preview circle.
  • Copy the Result: Click the "Copy HEX Code" button to copy the code to your clipboard, ready for you to paste into your projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is HSB and why is it useful?

HSB stands for Hue, Saturation, and Brightness. It's a color model that is often more intuitive for humans because it mimics how we think about color. Hue is the color type (e.g., red), Saturation is its intensity, and Brightness is how light or dark it is. It's useful for creating color schemes, as you can easily make a color lighter or more vibrant by adjusting a single value.

What is the difference between HSB and HSV?

There is no difference; they are two names for the exact same color model. HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) and HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) are used interchangeably in the design community. Our tool uses the HSB acronym, but the values are identical to HSV.

When do I need to convert HSB to HEX?

You need to convert HSB to HEX when you are moving from a design phase to a development phase. Many design applications (like Adobe Photoshop) use HSB sliders because they are easy to work with. However, to use that color on a website or in a web application, you must convert it to a HEX code, which is the standard for CSS and HTML.

What is a HEX code?

A HEX code is a six-digit code that represents an RGB color. It is the most common way to define colors on the web. For example, `#FFFFFF` is white and `#000000` is black. It provides a precise, standardized way for browsers to render colors.

Why does my HEX color sometimes look different from my HSB color?

The mathematical conversion is exact. However, colors can appear slightly different depending on the screen you are using and its calibration. Different monitors and devices have slightly different color profiles, which can cause minor visual variations, but the underlying color code remains the same.
