RGB to HEX Color Converter

What is RGB to HEX Conversion?

RGB to HEX conversion is the process of transforming color representations from the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color model to the hexadecimal (HEX) color code. This conversion is useful when you need to translate color values used in digital displays and image processing into web-friendly color codes for CSS and HTML.

RGB Color Model

The RGB color model represents colors using three components:

• Red (R): Amount of red, from 0 to 255.
• Green (G): Amount of green, from 0 to 255.
• Blue (B): Amount of blue, from 0 to 255.

HEX Color Code

A HEX color code is a six-digit combination of numbers and letters defined by its mix of red, green and blue (RGB). It's preceded by a pound sign (#) and is commonly used in CSS and HTML color code.

• Format: #RRGGBB
• RR: Red value (00 to FF)
• GG: Green value (00 to FF)
• BB: Blue value (00 to FF)

Conversion Formula

The conversion from RGB to HEX involves these steps:

1. Convert each RGB component (0-255) to a two-digit hexadecimal number.

2. Concatenate the three hexadecimal values.

For example, to convert RGB(26, 143, 60) to HEX:

• R: 26 (decimal) = 1A (hex)
• G: 143 (decimal) = 8F (hex)
• B: 60 (decimal) = 3C (hex)

Therefore, RGB(26, 143, 60) in HEX is #1A8F3C.

Usage Example

Let's convert a vibrant blue color from RGB to HEX:

• RGB: (0, 127, 255)
• HEX: #007FFF
