LCH to HEX Converter
LCH in, HEX color code out — with the working shown.
To convert LCH to HEX, normalise the input, convert LCH back to RGB, write out the HEX value, then check the gamut. For example, lch(55.09% 68.11 284.75) in LCH is #2f81f7 in HEX.
This is a free LCH to HEX converter. Type or paste any lightness, chroma and hue into the field above and the HEX value updates as you type, along with every other notation the web understands. HEX is a six-digit hexadecimal number, two digits per channel, written with a leading #.
Conversions run entirely in your browser using the same color engine as the rest of the site: values round-trip through linear sRGB and CIE XYZ rather than through an approximation, so what you copy is accurate to the last digit the format can carry.
How to convert LCH to HEX
- Normalise the input. Read the LCH value and scale each component into the 0–1 range the maths expects.
- Convert LCH back to RGB. LCH is not the display's native model, so the first move is always back to red, green and blue.
- Write out the HEX value. Convert back through sRGB and format the result as HEX.
- Check the gamut. Clamp anything that falls outside what an sRGB display can show, so the value you copy is the value you get.
Worked example: lch(55.09% 68.11 284.75) converts to #2f81f7. That color is Dodger Blue, and the tool above shows each intermediate step for whatever value you enter.

LCH and HEX, briefly
LCH is CIE Lab expressed in polar coordinates, so chroma and hue are separate dials. Valid range: L 0–100, C 0–150, H 0–360°.
HEX is a six-digit hexadecimal number, two digits per channel, written with a leading #. Valid range: #000000 to #ffffff.
Frequently asked questions
How do you convert LCH to HEX?
1. Read the LCH value and scale each component into the 0–1 range the maths expects. 2. LCH is not the display's native model, so the first move is always back to red, green and blue. 3. Convert back through sRGB and format the result as HEX. 4. Clamp anything that falls outside what an sRGB display can show, so the value you copy is the value you get. The converter on this page does all of it as you type, and shows the working underneath.
What is lch(53.24% 104.55 40) in HEX?
Pure red, lch(53.24% 104.55 40), is #ff0000 in HEX. There is a table of twenty common colors converted to HEX further up this page.
What is lch(55.09% 68.11 284.75) in HEX?
lch(55.09% 68.11 284.75) converts to #2f81f7. It is a dodger blue, and you can paste any other value into the field at the top of the page to convert it.
Is LCH to HEX conversion lossless?
Within sRGB, yes — converting to HEX and back returns the value you started with. The only rounding happens when a component is written out to a fixed number of decimal places.
Can I use HEX directly in CSS?
Yes. #2f81f7 is valid CSS and works in every current browser.
Does this LCH to HEX converter support transparency?
Alpha is preserved wherever the target notation can carry it — eight-digit hex, rgb() / a, hsl() / a and the modern CSS spaces all round-trip an alpha channel. CMYK has no alpha, so it is dropped there.
Is my color data sent anywhere?
No. Every conversion on this site runs in your browser with no network request, no account and no analytics. You can disconnect and it keeps working.
