How do I use the hue color wheel to select colors?
Click or drag anywhere on the color wheel to select a color. The center represents low saturation (gray), while the outer edge represents full saturation. The angle around the wheel determines the hue (color type), and you can adjust lightness using the slider below.
What's the difference between HSL and RGB color models?
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is more intuitive for color selection as it separates color properties. Hue determines the color type (0-360°), saturation controls color intensity (0-100%), and lightness controls brightness (0-100%). RGB uses red, green, and blue values (0-255 each).
Can I get the exact color codes for web development?
Yes! The tool displays real-time HEX, RGB, and HSL values for any selected color. Click the copy button next to each format to instantly copy the code to your clipboard for use in CSS, HTML, or design software.
How accurate is the color name detection feature?
Our color name detection analyzes hue, saturation, and lightness values to provide descriptive names like 'Dark Blue', 'Light Green', or 'Muted Orange'. While not exhaustive, it covers common color names used in design and development.
Does the color wheel work on mobile devices?
The hue color wheel is fully responsive and supports both touch and mouse interactions. You can tap, drag, and pinch on mobile devices just as easily as using a mouse on desktop.
Can I save my selected colors for later use?
Yes, you can save any color to your favorites collection and access your color history. All saved colors persist in your browser's local storage and include the full color information (HEX, RGB, HSL, and name).
