# Color Converter

Convert between HEX, RGB, HSL, and OKLCH. WCAG contrast checker, complementary palette generator, and CSS-ready copy.

## How It Works

1. **Enter any color format** — Type a HEX, RGB, HSL, or CSS named color. The tool converts to all other formats.
2. **Fine-tune with the picker** — Use the hue, saturation, and lightness sliders for interactive color selection.
3. **Check contrast and palettes** — Use the contrast checker for WCAG compliance. View complementary, analogous, and triadic palettes.

## FAQ

### What is WCAG contrast?

WCAG defines minimum contrast ratios for accessible text: 4.5:1 for normal text (AA), 7:1 for enhanced (AAA), and 3:1 for large text.

### What is OKLCH?

OKLCH is a perceptually uniform color space. Colors with the same lightness value actually look equally bright, unlike HSL.

### Can I copy CSS-ready values?

Yes. Each format has a copy button that outputs the value as a CSS property. To see colors in action, try the [mesh gradient generator](https://varstatt.com/toolkit/mesh).
