About the RGB Color Chart and Color Codes
The RGB color chart is a free online tool for looking up and browsing color codes. It brings together complete color charts for major color families such as red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, pink, brown, gray, and black-and-white. Every color card shows precise HEX and RGB color codes, and clicking one reveals that color’s parameters, color schemes, and color psychology. Whether you are doing web design, UI color matching, graphic work, or illustration reference, this color chart helps you quickly find the color code you want and solves the problem of "seeing a color you like but not knowing its exact value," making color selection more intuitive and more professional.
What Are Color Codes
A color code is a standardized way of representing a color with numbers or characters. On digital devices, the same color can be described in several formats, the three most common being HEX color codes (such as #FF5733), RGB color codes (such as rgb(255, 87, 51)), and HSL color codes (such as hsl(11, 100%, 60%)). All three describe the same color, only with different notations. HEX and RGB are commonly used in web CSS, design software, and development code, while HSL is better suited to fine-tuning lightness and hue. Color codes turn color from "a feeling you see with your eyes" into "a value that can be passed on and reproduced," which is the foundation of collaboration between digital design and development. The RGB color chart on this site organizes commonly used colors by color family, and every card is labeled with HEX and RGB for easy copying.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the relationship between the RGB color chart and color codes?
A color chart is a collection of colors, and a color code is the specific numerical representation of each color in the chart. The RGB color chart on this site organizes commonly used colors by color family, and every card is labeled with the corresponding HEX and RGB color code for easy copying.
What are the common formats of color codes?
There are three common color code formats: HEX (such as #FF5733), RGB (such as rgb(255, 87, 51)), and HSL (such as hsl(11, 100%, 60%)). All three describe the same color; HEX and RGB are most commonly used in web and design software, while HSL is better for adjusting hue and lightness.
Why does the same color have so many code notations?
Because different scenarios need to express color in different ways. Web development tends to use HEX, program calculations are better suited to RGB, and HSL is more intuitive for lightness adjustments. They are all the same color underneath and can be converted into one another; only the way they are written differs.
Can the color codes in the chart be used commercially?
Yes. Color codes themselves are numerical information and involve no copyright issues, so you can freely use the HEX or RGB values in the chart for websites, apps, design work, and commercial projects. However, if the original reference comes from a copyrighted work owned by someone else, the copyright of that original work still belongs to its author.
How can I quickly find the color code I want?
Use the color family navigation at the top of the page and click to enter the category page for the corresponding color family (red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, pink, brown, gray, and black-and-white—11 categories in total); if you want to view the details of a specific color, click that color card to open its detail page.
Which filtering dimensions does the RGB color chart support?
It currently supports filtering by color family, including red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, pink, brown, gray, and black-and-white—11 categories in total. The colors under each family are well organized, making it easy to browse color codes by hue range.
How do color codes correspond to color names?
Every card in the color chart shows the color’s Chinese name, English name, and HEX / RGB color codes at the same time. The color name helps you understand the immediate impression of the color, while the color code makes it easy to copy directly into design tools or code.
Will the color chart keep being updated?
Yes. The color chart will keep adding commonly used color codes based on design trends and user feedback, and the color family categories may be further refined as needs evolve. If there is a color you would like to see added, feel free to let us know through the page feedback channel.
