Compare Colors

Our Color Comparison tool makes it simple to compare colors and see how similar or different they are. Using the Delta E (ΔE) metric, the tool calculates the exact difference between two colors, whether you are working with HEX or RGB codes. Perfect for designers, painters, or anyone needing accurate color matching.

Enter your color codes, and the tool will give you a Delta E value, helping you see how close or different the colors are. The lower the value, the closer the colors; a Delta E below 1 is nearly indistinguishable to the human eye.

Key Features:

• Color Comparison: Easily compare two colors using their HEX codes or RGB values.
• Delta E Calculation: Delta E tells you how different two colors are on a scale, making it great for precise matching.
• Easy-to-Use Interface: Just input your color values and get instant results.

How to Use:

1. Enter the hex codes for the text color and background color.
2. The tool will automatically calculate the contrast ratio.
3. See if your design meets the WCAG accessibility standards with pass or fail results.
4. Adjust your colors until the tool shows a passing score for accessible design.

FAQs About the Compare Colors Tool

What is Delta E?

Delta E (ΔE) is a number that measures the difference between two colors. A lower Delta E value means the colors are more similar, with a Delta E of less than 1 being nearly indistinguishable to the human eye.

What is a good Delta E value?

A Delta E of less than 1 is ideal and generally not noticeable to the human eye. A Delta E between 1 and 2 shows a small difference, but still very close. Above 2, the difference becomes more visible.

Can I compare colors using RGB values?

Yes! You can compare both HEX codes and RGB values with our Color Comparison tool to calculate the difference between two colors.

Why is Delta E important in color comparison?

Delta E is widely used in industries like printing, design, and manufacturing to ensure color accuracy. It helps you achieve consistent colors, especially when precise color matching is needed.

What do I do if my Delta E value is too high?

If the Delta E value is too high, the colors are too different. You can adjust one or both of the colors to bring the Delta E value down and achieve a closer match.
