An HTML Color Picker is an essential tool for any web developer, designer, or digital artist. The tool uses hex values to represent colors. Each hex value includes Red, Green, and Blue values, each ranging between 0 and 255, represented by two hexadecimal digits. Therefore, a typical hex color code takes the format #RRGGBB, where RR represents red, GG represents green, and BB represents blue.
This color picker includes an additional alpha value to indicate opacity. When included, the alpha value extends the six-character color code to eight characters - #RRGGBBAA. This value represents the opacity level, from 00 (completely transparent) to FF (completely opaque) when expressed in hexadecimal. These color codes are widely used in HTML to specify background colors, font colors, and more.
To use the picker, slide the square across the top to select the broad color value you want - red, yellow, green, blue, or purple, etc. Then, within the larger selection area, move the circle to more finely select the shade of your chosen color - whether it be light, dark, or somewhere in between. Finally, slide the square up and down the opacity slider to adjust your desired level of transparency. The top is fully opaque, meaning the color is not see-through at all.
When you have selected your desired color, you can click the copy button to grab the hex code, ready to be pasted into your preferred HTML editor.
