New update
This is your color as the embed border.
Embed colors
Discord wants embed colors as a decimal number, designers hand you hex. Paste a color in any notation and copy the value you need – with a preview in Dark, Ash, Onyx and Light.
Anything works: #5865F2, #abc, 0x5865F2, 5793266, rgb(88, 101, 242), hsl(235, 86%, 65%)

Role colors show up as text on the chat background. 4.5 : 1 or more reads well, 3 : 1 is still okay for bold names. More on role colors and gradients
How it works
- Enter a color – #5865F2, 0x5865F2, 5793266 or rgb(88, 101, 242) – or use the color picker.
- Copy the decimal value for JSON and webhooks ("color": 5793266) or the code for discord.js or discord.py.
- Check in the preview how the embed border and role name look in all four Discord themes.
- If you use it as a role color, aim for green contrast values.
FAQ
Why does Discord want the color as a number?
In webhook and API JSON, color is an integer: the hex value as a decimal number. #5865F2 becomes 5793266. Libraries like discord.js or discord.py also accept 0x5865F2 in code – plain JSON only takes the decimal.
How do I convert hex to decimal?
Read the hex value without # as a base-16 number: parseInt("5865F2", 16) gives 5793266. This tool does it both ways and understands RGB and HSL too.
Why can't I see my embed color?
Check that you sent the decimal number, not the hex string – Discord rejects "color": "#ff0000". Very dark colors also nearly vanish in the Dark and Onyx themes; the preview shows this.
How do I get a black role color?
For roles, color 0 means “no color” and Discord shows the default. Use #010101 (decimal 65793) instead – it looks black but counts as a color.
What does the contrast value mean?
It's the WCAG contrast ratio between the color and the chat background. 4.5 : 1 or more reads well, 3 : 1 is enough for bold names. Below that, many members struggle, especially on phones.
