HSV to RGB Converter: Design Tool to RGB
Convert HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) to RGB values.
Last updated
Contrast on white & black
WCAG 2.1 contrast ratio of #2667EB against a white and a black surface.
AA needs 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text (18pt, or 14pt bold); AAA needs 7:1. Use this to choose white or black text over the color.
About this conversion
HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) is the color model behind most visual color pickers. You select a hue on the color wheel, drag horizontally for saturation, and vertically for brightness (value). It is the dominant model in tools like Photoshop, Figma, and many game engines.
However, when you need to use a color in CSS, pass it to an API, or set pixel data in a canvas, you almost always need RGB. This converter takes your HSV values and computes the exact R, G, B integers (0–255) in real time, so you can move freely between a visual color picker workflow and code.
The conversion is lossless within the sRGB gamut. Adjusting the hue slider rotates through the spectrum, saturation controls vibrancy from gray to fully saturated, and value controls brightness from black to the full color. The live preview and copy buttons make it easy to grab exactly the RGB value you need. If you are starting from a photograph or screenshot rather than known HSV values, the Color Picker from Image extracts colors directly from any image.

Reconstructing a blue from a design-app picker
Input
- Hue (H)
- 220°
- Saturation (S)
- 84%
- Value (V)
- 92%
Result
- Red (R)
- 38
- Green (G)
- 103
- Blue (B)
- 235
- HEX
- #2667EB
Those are the HSV numbers Photoshop shows for the brand blue, and they rebuild to rgb(38, 103, 235) — one digit off #2563EB, the rounding cost of the round trip through HSV.
A maxed orange
Input
- Hue (H)
- 24°
- Saturation (S)
- 100%
- Value (V)
- 100%
Result
- Red (R)
- 255
- Green (G)
- 102
- Blue (B)
- 0
- HEX
- #FF6600
S and V both at 100% always returns a colour with one channel at 255 — the most intense version of the 24° hue the screen can show.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I enter HSV values from Photoshop?
In Photoshop's color picker, H is in degrees (0–360), S and B (brightness/value) are percentages (0–100). Enter these same numbers in this tool: H maps to hue, S to saturation, and B to value.
What happens when value is 0 in HSV?
When value (brightness) is 0, the result is always pure black (RGB 0, 0, 0) regardless of the hue or saturation settings. Value controls the overall brightness of the color.
Is the HSV to RGB conversion lossless?
Yes. The conversion is mathematically exact and fully reversible. HSV and RGB describe the same sRGB color space using different coordinate systems.
