This Color converter is a rewrite of the original Color converter written in Python. This version is written in Visual Basic .Net, and can be ran from a compiled executable.

### Conversion

Improvements for this version include a UI that is easier to navigate, a color panel that allows to preview the converted color, and displays the HEX color code.
