HEX to RGB
Convert hex colors to RGB — #FF6600 to rgb(255, 102, 0).
How to use HEX to RGB
- Enter the hex color — with or without the # (e.g. FF6600).
- Read the RGB values — rgb(255, 102, 0).
- Use in CSS or code — especially when you need rgba() for transparency.
- Reverse it with the RGB to Hex converter when you need hex.
What is HEX to RGB?
A hex to RGB converter turns a hexadecimal color code into its red-green-blue values: #FF6600 becomes rgb(255, 102, 0). Both describe the same color — hex is compact (six digits: two each for red, green, blue in base 16), RGB is explicit (three numbers 0–255) — and different tools and contexts want different formats.
The conversion is a simple base change: each pair of hex digits is a number 00–FF (0–255 in decimal). FF = 255, 66 = 102, 00 = 0. Knowing both formats and converting between them is everyday work for anyone touching web colors.
About the HEX to RGB
Enter a hex color and get its RGB values instantly.
Why you'd convert: RGB is needed for transparency — CSS rgba(255, 102, 0, 0.5) adds an alpha channel that hex traditionally couldn't (though modern 8-digit hex now can), so working with opacity often means RGB; tool compatibility — some design tools, canvas/graphics code, and color libraries want RGB numbers, not hex strings; color math — manipulating colors programmatically (mixing, adjusting brightness) is easier with the separate RGB numbers; and understanding a color — the RGB values show you the actual red/green/blue makeup (#E67E22 = 230 red, 126 green, 34 blue = a strong orange).
The reverse is our RGB to Hex converter. Related formats: HSL (hue-saturation-lightness) is another way to express the same colors, often more intuitive for adjusting them (our Color Converter handles all formats). Pick colors from images with our Color Picker from Image, and build schemes with the Color Palette Generator. Conversion is instant and local.
