Question 1

What is the difference between HEX and RGB?

Accepted Answer

HEX is a six-character hexadecimal code (like #RRGGBB) used to represent a color, while RGB defines a color using three values for Red, Green, and Blue (from 0 to 255). They represent the exact same color, but HEX is more compact and widely used in web development.

Question 2

How do you convert HEX to RGB?

Accepted Answer

To convert HEX to RGB, you split the six-digit HEX code into three pairs of characters (RR, GG, and BB). Each pair is a hexadecimal number that you convert to its decimal equivalent (0-255) to get the Red, Green, and Blue values. Our tool does this for you automatically.

Question 3

Is HEX or RGB better for web design?

Accepted Answer

Both are essential. HEX is more common in CSS for its brevity. RGB is often used in contexts where opacity is needed (using the RGBA format), or in JavaScript when color values need to be manipulated programmatically.

Question 4

Can I convert a 3-digit HEX code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A 3-digit HEX code (e.g., #F0C) is a shorthand for a 6-digit code where each digit is duplicated (e.g., #FF00CC). Our converter understands this shorthand and will convert it correctly.
