HEX to RGB Converter
Convert hexadecimal color codes to RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values instantly. This converter translates the web-standard HEX format into RGB values that work in CSS, design tools, and programming languages.
Understanding HEX Colors
HEX color codes use a 6-character notation representing Red, Green, and Blue channels. Each pair of characters represents a value from 00 (0) to FF (255). The format is #RRGGBB where:
- RR = Red channel (00-FF)
- GG = Green channel (00-FF)
- BB = Blue channel (00-FF)
Conversion Formula
To convert HEX to RGB, split the HEX code into pairs and convert each from base-16 to decimal:
| HEX Pair | Calculation | RGB Value |
|---|---|---|
| FF | F×16 + F = 15×16 + 15 | 255 |
| 80 | 8×16 + 0 = 128 | 128 |
| 00 | 0×16 + 0 = 0 | 0 |
Common HEX to RGB Conversions
| Color | HEX | RGB |
|---|---|---|
| Red | #FF0000 | rgb(255, 0, 0) |
| Green | #00FF00 | rgb(0, 255, 0) |
| Blue | #0000FF | rgb(0, 0, 255) |
| White | #FFFFFF | rgb(255, 255, 255) |
| Black | #000000 | rgb(0, 0, 0) |
Shorthand HEX
3-character HEX codes like #F00 expand by doubling each character: #F00 = #FF0000.
