Frequently Asked Questions - Hex to RGB Converter
Hex codes are 6-digit hexadecimal (base-16) numbers prefixed with # that represent red, green, and blue components (e.g. #RRGGBB). RGB values are three separate numbers (0-255) representing the intensity of red, green, and blue. Both represent the same color information but in different formats - hex is more compact while RGB is more human-readable.
3-digit hex codes are shorthand for 6-digit codes where each digit is duplicated (e.g. #RGB becomes #RRGGBB). To convert to RGB, first expand to 6 digits, then convert each pair to decimal. For example: #1A8 becomes #11AA88, which converts to rgb(17, 170, 136). Our converter automatically handles both 3-digit and 6-digit hex codes.
Different platforms use different formats - web design typically uses hex codes while graphic design software often uses RGB values. Converting between them ensures color consistency across different tools. RGB values can also be easier to manipulate programmatically (e.g., lightening/darkening colors by adjusting values).
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is an alternative color model that's more intuitive for color adjustments. CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is used in print design. While our tool focuses on Hex/RGB conversion, we provide these additional representations to help you understand the color's properties across different color models.
Our conversions are mathematically precise, using standard algorithms for color space conversions. However, actual color appearance may vary slightly between devices due to differences in screens, color profiles, and calibration. For critical color work, always verify colors on the target device and consider using standardized color systems like Pantone.
