Does this support transparency (alpha/RGBA)?

The converter works with opaque 6-digit hex colors and their RGB/HSL equivalents. For alpha transparency you'd add an alpha channel separately (e.g. rgba(51, 102, 255, 0.5)) — the hex-to-RGB-to-HSL conversion itself doesn't carry an opacity value.

Can I enter a shorthand 3-digit hex code like #36F?

Yes — 3-digit shorthand hex (where each digit is duplicated, so #36F expands to #3366FF) is expanded automatically before conversion, giving the same RGB and HSL result as the full 6-digit form.

Color Converter

Convert colors between HEX, RGB and HSL formats.

How this is calculated

RGB parsed from hex pairs; HSL derived from RGB via the standard min/max chroma formula

Assumptions used in this calculation

Color space: Conversions assume standard sRGB color space, the default for web and most displays.
