Converting RGB to Hex
RGB is typically used for image editing, screen design and programming, where colours are built from individual light values, while Hex is used for CSS, HTML and general web design, where a short, copy-pasteable code is useful. Enter a RGB value above and the equivalent Hex value appears instantly, alongside every other supported format.
Is RGB to Hex 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 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.
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.
