RGB ↔ Hex Color Code Converter
Enter R / G / B from 0–255 to see the hex code and swatch. Or enter a 3- or 6-digit hex code to get RGB.
What is a hex color code?
Used in HTML/CSS to specify colors as # plus six hex digits (e.g. #FF0088). It simply lines up the RGB values converted to hexadecimal.
How conversion works (example: R 255 / G 0 / B 136)
Start with the RGB light values.
Convert each to a 2-digit hex value. Pad with a leading 0 when needed.
Join R → G → B and add # at the front.
What do the numbers mean?
Screen colors mix R, G, and B light. Each channel has 256 levels (0–255), about 16.7 million colors in total.
3-digit shorthand
When both digits of a channel match, you can shorten to 3 digits, e.g. #F08 for FF0088 (#FFFFFF → #FFF).
People often visualize RGB numbers more easily, while machines prefer codes — so converting both ways is useful. For RGB vs CMYK, see this article.
