1. What is a Hex to RGB Calculator?

Definition: This calculator converts hexadecimal color codes to their corresponding RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values.

Purpose: It helps designers, developers, and digital artists translate between these two common color representation formats.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• Hex — 6-digit hexadecimal color code (e.g., #FF5733)
• R — Red component (0-255)
• G — Green component (0-255)
• B — Blue component (0-255)

Explanation: Each pair of hexadecimal digits represents one RGB component, converted from base-16 to base-10.

3. Importance of Color Conversion

Details: Understanding both formats is essential for web design (which uses hex) and digital imaging (which often uses RGB values).

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter a 6-digit hex color code (with or without # prefix). The calculator will output the corresponding RGB values.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the difference between hex and RGB?
A: Hex is a compact hexadecimal representation, while RGB uses decimal numbers for each color channel.

Q2: Do I need to include the # symbol?
A: The calculator works with or without the # prefix.

Q3: What's the range for RGB values?
A: Each RGB component ranges from 0 to 255 (decimal).

Q4: Can I convert shorthand hex codes (3-digit)?
A: No, this calculator only works with full 6-digit hex codes.

Q5: How do I convert RGB back to hex?
A: Use our RGB to Hex Calculator tool for the reverse conversion.
