A Chromo color page starts with the selected color and its identity data. Chromo tries to show a ReadyTools color name when available, a closest name match, and the main technical values for the color.

Main values

  • HEX: the most common web color value.
  • RGB: red, green, and blue channel values for screens.
  • HSL: hue, saturation, and lightness, useful for adjusting colors.
  • CMYK: print-oriented color channels.
  • Luminance: a brightness measurement used in contrast and readability decisions.

How to use this section

Use the first format cards when you need the color quickly. Use the later Converter section when you need deeper formats such as RGBA, OKLCH, Lab, LCH, XYZ, Android, Swift, or integer values.
