Color Code Conversion
Master the conversion from RGB values to hex color codes!
How to Convert RGB to HEX
The conversion formula depends on RGB format: Parse the decimal RGB components and convert to hexadecimal format.
Conversion Formula:
Example (rgb(255, 0, 0)): R=255, G=0, B=0 → #FF0000
Example (rgb(0, 255, 0)): R=0, G=255, B=0 → #00FF00
Example (rgb(0, 0, 255)): R=0, G=0, B=255 → #0000FF
Step-by-Step Conversion Process:
- Parse RGB Format: Extract R, G, B values from rgb() or comma-separated format
- Validate Range: Ensure each component is between 0-255
- Convert to Hex: Convert each decimal to 2-digit hexadecimal
- Format Output: Combine with # prefix (#RRGGBB)
- Handle Edge Cases: Support 3-digit hex for grayscale colors
Supported RGB Input Formats:
rgb(255, 0, 0)Standard CSS format
rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5)With alpha transparency
255, 0, 0Comma-separated values
255 0 0Space-separated values
