HEX to RGB
HEX to RGB is the process of converting a color from the HEX color code format to the RGB color model (which stands for Red, Green, Blue).
HEX to RGB is the process of converting a color from the HEX color code format to the RGB color model (which stands for Red, Green, Blue).
HEX Color Code:
A HEX color code is a 6-digit hexadecimal (base-16) representation of a color, typically preceded by a hash symbol (#
). It consists of three pairs of characters, where each pair represents the Red, Green, and Blue components of the color. Each pair can have a value between 00 and FF (which is equivalent to 0-255 in decimal).
RGB Color Model:
In the RGB color model, each color is represented by three components:
- Red (R): The intensity of the red color (value between 0 and 255),
- Green (G): The intensity of the green color (value between 0 and 255),
- Blue (B): The intensity of the blue color (value between 0 and 255).
How to Convert HEX to RGB:
- Remove the hash (#) symbol if it's included in the HEX code (e.g., #FF6347 becomes FF6347).
- Split the HEX code into three pairs of two characters:
- The first pair represents the Red component,
- The second pair represents the Green component,
- The third pair represents the Blue component.
- Convert each HEX pair into decimal (base-10).
Example Conversion:
Let's convert #FF6347 (a HEX color code) to RGB.
-
Remove the hash:
#FF6347
becomesFF6347
. -
Split into pairs:
- Red:
FF
, - Green:
63
, - Blue:
47
.
- Red:
-
Convert each HEX pair to decimal:
FF
in HEX → 255 in decimal (Red),63
in HEX → 99 in decimal (Green),47
in HEX → 71 in decimal (Blue).
-
Resulting RGB color:
#FF6347 in HEX = RGB(255, 99, 71).
Another Example:
Convert #00FF00 (pure green) to RGB.
-
Remove the hash:
#00FF00
becomes00FF00
. -
Split into pairs:
- Red:
00
, - Green:
FF
, - Blue:
00
.
- Red:
-
Convert each HEX pair to decimal:
00
in HEX → 0 in decimal (Red),FF
in HEX → 255 in decimal (Green),00
in HEX → 0 in decimal (Blue).
-
Resulting RGB color:
#00FF00 in HEX = RGB(0, 255, 0).
Summary:
- HEX to RGB conversion allows you to transform a color from the HEX format (used in web design and digital art) into the RGB color model (used in screens and digital displays).
- Example: #FF6347 converts to RGB(255, 99, 71).
