How HEX to RGB Conversion Works
Digital colors are represented as Hexadecimal (HEX) codes in web design. Each code, like #3B82F6, consists of three pairs. To convert to RGB, we translate each base-16 pair into its base-10 (decimal) equivalent.
For example, the HEX code 3B converts to 59, 82 becomes 130, and F6 becomes 246, resulting in rgb(59, 130, 246).
Key Takeaways
- Channel Precision: Each RGB channel ranges from 0 (empty) to 255 (full intensity).
- Bit Depth: Standard HEX colors use 24-bit depth (8 bits per channel), allowing for 16.7 million colors.
- Short-hand Support: 3-digit HEX codes (e.g., #F00) represent #FF0000 through character doubling.
