What is Hex Color?

Hexadecimal (hex) color codes are a way to represent colors in web design and digital graphics. They consist of a hash symbol (#) followed by six characters representing red, green, and blue values.

What is RGB Color?

RGB stands for Red, Green, Blue. It's an additive color model where colors are created by combining different intensities of red, green, and blue light, each ranging from 0 to 255.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between hex and RGB?

Hex uses hexadecimal notation (base 16) with values 0-9 and A-F, while RGB uses decimal notation (base 10) with values 0-255. Both represent the same colors but in different formats.

Can I use 3-digit hex codes?

Yes! 3-digit hex codes like #RGB are shorthand for #RRGGBB. For example, #F0A becomes #FF00AA. This converter supports both formats.

Which format is better for web development?

Both are valid in CSS. Use hex for simple colors and RGB/RGBA when you need transparency or dynamic color manipulation with JavaScript.

How accurate is this converter?

This converter provides mathematically precise conversions. The RGB values are calculated directly from the hex values using standard color space formulas.
