#2B6F8Ergb(43, 111, 142)How HEX to RGB Conversion Works
HEX colors use a six-digit hexadecimal string (#RRGGBB) where each pair represents the red, green, and blue channels. Values range from 00 (0) to FF (255).
RGB uses three decimal numbers (0–255) for each channel. For example, #2B6F8E breaks down to R:43, G:111, B:142.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert HEX to RGB manually?
Split the 6-digit hex into 3 pairs (e.g., #FF8800 → FF, 88, 00), then convert each pair from base-16 to base-10: FF=255, 88=136, 00=0. The result is rgb(255, 136, 0).
What about 3-digit HEX codes?
Three-digit hex is shorthand where each digit doubles: #F80 = #FF8800. This converter handles both formats automatically.
When should I use HEX vs RGB?
HEX is more compact and popular in CSS. RGB is better when you need to manipulate individual channels programmatically or use rgba() for transparency.
