HTML - Color Code Builder

Setting the background color of an element:

<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 165, 0);">
    This element has an orange background.
</div>

Setting the text color of an element:

<p style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);">
    This text is green.
</p>

Using RGB color code in CSS:

.my-element {
    color: rgb(128, 0 ,128);
    background-color: rgb(255 ,255 ,0);
}

By adjusting the values of red, green, and blue, you can create a wide range of colors using the RGB format. Keep in mind that the maximum value for each component is always within this range will not produce valid colors.

Examples of using HEX color code in HTML:

<div style="background-color: #FFA500;">
    This element has an orange background.
</div>

<p style="color: #008000;">
    This text is green.
</p>

.my-element {
    color: #800080;
    background-color: #FFFF00;
}

HEX color codes are case-insensitive, so you can use uppercase or lowercase letters. When a color has identical values for each part pair, you can shorten the HEX code to three digits. For example, #FF8800 can be written as #F80.

HEX color codes offer many colors and are commonly used in web design. They provide a concise way to represent colors in HTML and CSS.

Examples of using HSL color code in HTML:

Setting the background color of an element

<div style="background-color: hsl(39,100%,50%);">
    This element has an orange background.
</div>

Setting the text color of an element

<p style="color: hsl(120 ,100%,25%);">
    This text is dark green.
</p>

Using HSL color code in CSS

.my-element {
    color: hsl(300 ,100%,25%);
    background-color: hsl(60 ,100%,50%);
}

The HSL model helps when you want to adjust colors based on hue or brightness. By changing these values you can create different shades easily.

HSL codes provide a more intuitive way to describe colors compared to RGB or HEX codes. They allow you to create harmonious schemes by adjusting hue while keeping saturation and lightness consistent.

Examples of using color names in HTML:

<div style="background-color: coral;">
    This element has a coral background.
</div>

<p style="color: navy;">
    This text is navy blue.
</p>

.my-element {
    color: maroon;
    background-color: skyblue;
}

Using color names is a simple way to apply colors in your HTML and CSS code. They are easy to understand and remember, making your code more readable.

However, if you need a specific shade or a color that isn't available as a predefined name, you'll need to use RGB, HEX, or HSL codes instead.

Color names are great for beginners learning HTML and CSS. They allow you to quickly apply colors without getting bogged down in the details of codes.

Selecting Colors

The Color Code Builder provides an intuitive color picker interface. You can select a color using the color wheel by clicking and dragging the selector to the desired hue and saturation. You can also adjust brightness using the slider on the right side of the color wheel.

Alternatively, you can enter specific values for RGB, HEX, or HSL codes. The tool will update the preview in real-time as you adjust values.

The preview box shows a live view of the currently selected color. This helps you see how it will look on your web page.

Generating Color Code

Once you have selected a color using either method, The Color Code Builder will display its corresponding code in RGB, HEX, and HSL formats.

You can easily copy this code to your clipboard by clicking "Copy" next to each format. This saves time and eliminates manual copying.

To insert this directly into your HTML code, click "Insert into HTML." The tool will generate an HTML <div> element with that background-color applied:

<div style="background-color: rgb(173, 216, 230);"></div>

This tool simplifies creating and using colors in your HTML projects by eliminating manual lookup of codes while providing a visual way to try different options.
