Use the HSB to HEX Converter to turn any Hue, Saturation, and Brightness value into a HEX color code in seconds — no signup required.
How It Works
The HSB to HEX Converter takes your Hue (0–360°), Saturation (0–100%), and Brightness (0–100%) values and converts them to HEX in two steps: first HSB is converted to RGB using the standard HSB-to-RGB formula, then each RGB channel (red, green, blue) is converted to a two-digit hexadecimal value and combined into a six-character HEX code. Brightness in the HSB model controls how light or dark a color is, while Saturation controls how vivid or washed-out it appears — together with Hue, these three values define every color a HEX code can represent.
When to Use This
- Designers and developers moving a color picked in an HSB-based tool (like Photoshop or a design app) into CSS, which uses HEX almost universally
- WordPress theme and page builder users who need to paste a HEX value into a color field but only have HSB numbers from a brand style guide or client asset
- Anyone comparing color models who wants to see how the same color renders across HSB and HEX side by side
FAQ
Is HSB the same as HSV?
Yes — HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) and HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) are the same color model with two different names for the third component; Brightness and Value refer to the identical property.
What is the HSB color model?
HSB defines a color using three values: Hue (the color itself, expressed as a position on a 0–360° color wheel), Saturation (how intense or muted the color is, from 0% gray to 100% full color), and Brightness (how light or dark the color is, from 0% black to 100% full brightness).
How do I convert HSB to HEX manually?
Convert HSB to RGB first using the standard formula, then convert each resulting RGB value (0–255) to a two-digit hexadecimal number and join the three pairs into one six-character HEX code prefixed with #.
Can HSB and HEX represent the exact same colors?
Yes — HSB and HEX both describe colors within the same RGB color space, so any color expressed in HSB has an exact, lossless HEX equivalent with no approximation involved.
