Understanding Hex
Hex is a compact, web-friendly representation of RGB using hexadecimal notation (#RRGGBB). It's commonly used in HTML, CSS and web development where character count and readability matter. Both RGB and hex refer to the same colour space but present values differently – decimal versus base-16 encoding.
Understanding RGB
RGB defines colours using red, green, and blue light values (0-255 each). It's the standard for digital displays and is often used in image editing and graphic design software where direct manipulation of light values is needed.
