RGB to Hex

Enter red, green and blue color levels (0-255) and press the Convert button:

What does this RGB to Hex converter do?

It takes input in the form of values for Red, Green and Blue ranging from 0 to 255 and then converts those values to a hexadecimal string that can be used to specify color in html/css code. Photo editing software usually represents color in RGB and therefore if you would like to use the colors you use in your photo editing software as the background of your html element then you will have to get the hexadecimal representation of the RGB values. This tool allows you to get those values.

How is RGB represented in hex?

In hex, the colour is coded as #RRGGBB , where each pair of digits RR , GG or BB represents the intensity of red, green or blue respectively as a hexadecimal value between 00 and FF (0 and 255 in decimal). You can also write rgb(RRR, GGG, BBB) to mean the same thing, where the RRR , GGG , and BBB are decimal numbers.

Understanding RGB and Hex Colors

RGB Colors

RGB stands for Red, Green, and Blue. It is a color model used in various digital displays and design applications. In the RGB model, colors are created by combining these three primary colors in different intensities. Each color component (red, green, blue) is assigned a value ranging from 0 to 255. For example, RGB (255, 0, 0) represents pure red, while RGB (0, 255, 0) represents pure green. Combining different values of red, green, and blue can produce a wide spectrum of colors.

Hexadecimal (Hex) Colors

Hexadecimal colors, or hex colors, are a way of representing colors in web design and digital graphics. A hex color code is a six-digit combination of numbers and letters, starting with a hash symbol (#). The code combines the RGB values into a single string, with each pair of characters representing the intensity of red, green, and blue, respectively. For example, the hex code #FF0000 represents pure red, similar to RGB (255, 0, 0). Hex codes are widely used in HTML and CSS to specify colors in web pages and applications.
