RGB to Hex Converter — Free, Accurate Color Code Tool
Welcome to your colour-tool solution! Our RGB to Hex Converter lets you take any RGB values (for red, green, and blue, each from 0 to 255) and convert them into the corresponding Hexadecimal (Hex) colour code.
Set color levels (0-255) for Red, Green, and Blue
How to Use the Converter
- Slide the Red value (0-255). This sets how much red light the colour has.
- Slide the Green value (0-255). Adjust as needed.
- Slide the Blue value (0-255). Complete the tri-colour input.
- See the Hex output immediately. The converter will display something like
#FF5733.
- Preview shows the actual colour. You’ll see a box or panel filled with that colour.
- Click “Copy” to copy the hex code to clipboard.
- Use “Reset” to clear values and start fresh if desired.
What Are RGB and Hex?
To help you understand why conversion works and when it’s useful:
- RGB stands for Red, Green, Blue. It’s an additive colour model used by screens; each component takes a value from 0 to 255.
- Hexadecimal (Hex) colour codes are a way to express the same values in base-16. A typical hex code looks like
#RRGGBB
, where eachRR
,GG
,BB
is a two-digit hex number corresponding to red, green, blue. - For example:
- rgb(255, 87, 51) → #FF5733
- rgb(0, 0, 0) → #000000
- rgb(255, 255, 255) → #FFFFFF
- Why use hex?
- Shorter and more compact in CSS/HTML
- Widely supported across browsers and tools
- Easier to manage in code when using theme palettes or shared variables
Use Cases – Why You Might Need to Convert
Here are some common situations where converting RGB to Hex is useful:
- Designing websites or themes: CSS often uses hex codes; designers may get colours in RGB (from Photoshop, Sketch, etc.) and need to convert them.
- Consistency in branding: Ensuring the same exact colour is used across web pages, graphics, emails.
- Developing UI/UX mockups or applications: Matching colours for buttons, backgrounds, margins, etc.
- Email templates themes: Many email clients interpret hex more reliably.
- Colour matching between tools (e.g. between design tools and code editors).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What if the hex code is shorthand, like #F00
Shorthand hex (3 digits) expands to 6 digits by doubling each: so #F00 → #FF0000.
Does every device show colours exactly the same?
Not always. Device display settings, screen type, brightness, and colour profiles affect how colours render. Always test on multiple devices if accuracy is critical.
Are there colour models other than RGB/Hex I should know?
Yes - HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness), HSV, CMYK (for print), etc. Knowing these helps especially in branding and print work.
