Converting from HSL to RGB() & Hexadecimal Colors
Posted By Estelle Weyl on May 19, 2010
I created a ‘spreadsheet’ of the HSL() (hue, saturation, lightness) colors. I noticed if you inspect the file in Firebug, the left hand console gives you the rgb() color, and the right hand inspector gives you the hexadecimal #RRGGBB color.
To translate a color from HSL() to RGB() or #FFF, visit the HSL() ‘spreadsheet’ and inspect the color in Firebug. Simple as that.
Of course, you don’t have to use my spreadsheet. Simply declare an inline hsl() value on a div in your own sandbox. Inspecting it in Firebug will give you both the rgb() value (in the left hand firebug console, inline on the element) and in the right hand console, under element.style{} in the style console.
