Everything you need to know about RGB and HEX color codes

What's the difference between RGB and HEX?

Both describe the exact same color in different notations. RGB (like `rgb(124, 58, 237)`) writes out red, green, and blue as three separate 0–255 numbers; HEX (like `#7c3aed`) packs the same three values into a compact six-digit code. Which one you need depends on what you're writing code for.

When you actually need this

  • Converting a color from a design spec or codebase that uses RGB into the HEX format CSS most commonly uses.
  • Standardizing color values across a project that mixes both notations.

Going the other direction

Need to convert HEX back to RGB instead? HEX to RGB does the reverse.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I enter a value above 255 or below 0?

It's rejected with a clear error naming which channel is out of range, since RGB channels are only valid between 0 and 255.

Does this round decimal RGB values?

Yes — each channel is rounded to the nearest whole number before being converted to its two-digit HEX representation.

Is HEX just another way of writing the same color as RGB?

Yes — HEX and RGB represent exactly the same color space, just in different notations; converting between them loses no information.

Does this tool send my values to a server?

Yes — they're sent to our servers to compute the result and the result is returned to you; nothing is stored.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes — completely free, with no signup and no usage limits for casual use.
