Converting Hex to RGB
Hex is typically used for CSS, HTML and general web design, where a short, copy-pasteable code is useful, while RGB is used for image editing, screen design and programming, where colours are built from individual light values. Enter a Hex value above and the equivalent RGB value appears instantly, alongside every other supported format.
Is Hex to RGB conversion exact?
This conversion is exact and lossless – hex, RGB, HSV and HSL all describe the same underlying colour space, just in different notations, so no colour data is lost converting between them.
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.
