What is a HEX color code?
HEX encodes red, green, and blue channels in a six-character format. It is compact, widely used in CSS, and the default choice for many design systems.
HEX is easy to store, compare, and share across teams, which makes it ideal for tokens and variables.
What is RGB?
RGB represents color using three values between 0 and 255. It is the native language of screens and is common in UI code, imaging, and product specs.
RGB is useful when you need runtime color manipulation, opacity, or algorithmic adjustments.
How to convert HEX to RGB
Enter your HEX code and the converter outputs the matching RGB values automatically. You can also edit RGB fields to produce the equivalent HEX.
The output includes HSL to help you reason about hue, saturation, and lightness during palette tuning.
When to use HEX vs RGB
Use HEX for design tokens, CSS variables, and stable UI themes. Use RGB for animations, overlays, or dynamic color systems.
