HEX to RGB Converter

Overview

This tool allows you to easily convert hexadecimal (HEX) color codes into their corresponding RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values. This is useful for web designers, developers, and anyone needing to translate colors between these standard formats.

Use Cases

• Converting HEX codes from CSS or design mockups to RGB values for use in programming or other design tools.
• Understanding the specific red, green, and blue components of a HEX color.
• Quickly translating colors for different digital media requirements.
• Learning the relationship between HEX and RGB color representations.

How It Works

Enter a 3-digit (e.g., #F00) or 6-digit (e.g., #FF0000) hexadecimal color code into the input field (the # symbol is optional). The tool automatically parses the HEX code, extracts the red, green, and blue components, and converts them to their decimal (0-255) equivalents. The resulting RGB values (e.g., rgb(255, 0, 0)) are displayed, along with a visual preview of the color.

Tips for Better Usage

• HEX codes can be 3 digits (e.g., #ABC expands to #AABBCC) or 6 digits (e.g., #RRGGBB). Both are accepted.
• The # symbol at the beginning of the HEX code is optional for input.
• Each pair of hexadecimal digits (or single digit in the 3-digit format) corresponds to one of the color components (Red, Green, Blue).
