Understanding Digital Color Formats

What is Hex?

Hex (Hexadecimal) is a 6-digit code used in HTML, CSS, and SVG to represent colors. It combines Red, Green, and Blue values using base-16 numbering (0-9 and A-F).

Example:

#FF5733

What is RGB?

RGB stands for Red, Green, and Blue. It represents how much of each light color is added to create the final color. Each value ranges from 0 to 255.

Example:

rgb(255, 87, 51)

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert Hex to RGB?

Hex codes are converted to RGB by splitting the 6-digit hex code into three pairs (RR, GG, BB) and converting each pair from hexadecimal (base-16) to decimal (0-255). For example, #FF5733 converts to RGB(255, 87, 51). Our converter does this automatically.

What is the difference between Hex and RGB?

Hex uses a 6-digit hexadecimal code (e.g., #FF5733) where each pair represents Red, Green, and Blue values. RGB uses three decimal numbers (0-255) like rgb(255, 87, 51). Both represent the same colors, but Hex is more compact and commonly used in CSS.

Can I convert RGB back to Hex?

Yes, our converter works both ways. Enter RGB values and get the Hex code, or enter a Hex code and get RGB values. The conversion happens instantly in both directions.

What format should Hex codes be in?

Hex codes should start with a # symbol followed by 6 hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F). For example: #FF5733, #000000 (black), #FFFFFF (white). Some formats allow 3-digit shorthand (e.g., #F53 = #FF5533), which our converter also supports.

How do I use the converted RGB values in CSS?

Use RGB values in CSS with the rgb() function: rgb(255, 87, 51). You can also use rgba() for colors with transparency: rgba(255, 87, 51, 0.5). Our converter generates ready-to-use CSS code.
