HEX to RGB

Instantly converts Hex value to RGB color value or vice-versa using a simple online Hex to RGB color converter tool.

In simple words, RGB stands for Red, Green, and Blue, which are the primary colors of light.

RGB are the primary colors of light, and the RGB color model is an additive color system; the additive means that the more you add, the more you get closer to white. As opposed to RYB, a subtractive color system, the subtractive means that the more you add, the closer you get to black.

The RGB value represents the intensity of red, green, and blue colors. Each intensity usually comes from a 0-255 scale. Photo editing and graphic design software, such as Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, or Fireworks, represent or show the color in RGB format.

Each channel (Red, Green, and Blue are channels) represents one byte of data, as one byte equals 8 bits. And one bit represents either 0 or 1. So 2⁸ = 256 possibilities for each color. Since 0 is included, it is from 0 to 255.

Hex color is the hexadecimal (words, numbers, or a combination of both) representation of the color in terms of its mix of Red, Green, and Blue.

Hex color codes start with the hashtag (#) sign, followed by six letters or numbers. These six letters/numbers represent a mixture of red, green, and blue. The first two letters/numbers represent red, the second two letters/numbers represent green, and the last two letters/numbers represent Blue. Hexadecimal code is used to define the color on web pages. These hexadecimal color codes are HTML color codes.

Hex colors are web-safe colors. So, no matter what browser or device you will use, it will render and display the same color on all browsers and devices.

Web designers primarily use hex color codes to design websites, logos, banners, and ads. RGB is the primary color of light and is used in monitors, television screens, cameras, and digital cameras.

Let's explain the whole process with a simple example. Suppose you are a graphic designer working in a software house. A client comes to your software house for web design and development. First, you create a beautiful web design. As I told you earlier, photo editors and graphic design software show the RGB format color.

After the client's approval, you send that design to the web development section for further processing.

You need the hex color code to define the color on the web page because Hex colors are web-safe. How can you ensure that the developer develops the website in the same format in which you designed it? It refers to the exact colors you mentioned in your design. You will convert the RGB value into the Hex color code to overcome this ambiguity.

Do the following steps to convert the Hex color code to an RGB value.

• Open the Hex to RGB color converter.
• Paste the Hex color code. (without using # sign)
• Click on the "Convert" button.
• It will not only provide the individual color values of Red, Green, and Blue but also in RGB(150,50,50) format so that you can use this in your CSS style sheets, HTML inline styles, or any other software that supports RGB codes.
