How to convert HEX to RGB
- Paste a hex code in the box, with or without the #. Three-digit shorthand (#0af) and 8-digit codes with alpha (#1e90ff80) work too.
- Copy the RGB value from the highlighted row. Other formats are listed below it.
The conversion
A hex color is three pairs of hexadecimal digits for red, green and blue. Convert each pair from base 16 to base 10: the first digit times 16 plus the second digit, where A = 10 … F = 15. For #1E90FF: 1E = 1×16 + 14 = 30, 90 = 9×16 + 0 = 144, FF = 15×16 + 15 = 255, so the RGB value is rgb(30, 144, 255). Shorthand #RGB doubles each digit (#0AF = #00AAFF). An 8-digit code adds an alpha pair: 80 hex = 128, or about 0.5 opacity, giving rgba(30, 144, 255, 0.5).
| HEX | RGB | HSL |
|---|---|---|
| #FF0000 | rgb(255, 0, 0) | hsl(0, 100%, 50%) |
| #00FF00 | rgb(0, 255, 0) | hsl(120, 100%, 50%) |
| #0000FF | rgb(0, 0, 255) | hsl(240, 100%, 50%) |
| #FFFFFF | rgb(255, 255, 255) | hsl(0, 0%, 100%) |
| #000000 | rgb(0, 0, 0) | hsl(0, 0%, 0%) |
| #808080 | rgb(128, 128, 128) | hsl(0, 0%, 50%) |
| #FFA500 | rgb(255, 165, 0) | hsl(39, 100%, 50%) |
| #800080 | rgb(128, 0, 128) | hsl(300, 100%, 25%) |
| #1E90FF | rgb(30, 144, 255) | hsl(210, 100%, 56%) |
| #0D9488 | rgb(13, 148, 136) | hsl(175, 84%, 32%) |
HEX and RGB describe exactly the same color, so the conversion is lossless. Designers usually copy hex codes from design tools, while some code, canvas APIs and email builders need RGB numbers.
