HEX to RGB Color Converter

HEX and RGB are two notations for describing colors made from red, green, and blue light. A six-digit HEX color has the structure #RRGGBB. The first pair represents red, the second green, and the third blue.

HEX uses base 16, so each digit can be 0–9 or A–F. A two-digit HEX pair ranges from 00 to FF, which corresponds exactly to decimal values from 0 to 255. That is why every #RRGGBB color maps directly to an RGB value such as rgb(6, 182, 212).

Three-digit HEX is shorthand. A value such as #0CF expands by repeating each digit: #00CCFF. This converter performs that expansion before calculating the RGB channel values.

A six-digit HEX color is a compact way to store three color channels. In #RRGGBB, RR is red, GG is green, and BB is blue. Each pair is a base-16 number from 00 through FF, and this converter decodes those pairs into familiar decimal RGB values from 0 through 255.

HEX input is case-insensitive, so #7C3AED and #7c3aed describe the same color. The # prefix is optional, and this converter also accepts a leading 0x prefix. The result is shown as separate red, green, and blue numbers plus standard CSS rgb(r, g, b) notation.

Three-digit HEX uses shorthand rather than three full channel pairs. A code such as #0CF expands to #00CCFF by repeating each digit before conversion. That expansion is important: 0 becomes 00, C becomes CC, and F becomes FF.
