DocomintHEX to RGB Converter
Convert a hex color code like #ff5733 to its RGB red/green/blue values instantly.
CSS accepts both hex (#ff5733) and rgb() syntax, but they're not interchangeable everywhere — canvas's fillStyle, some animation libraries, and older email-client CSS often expect rgb() specifically, or you need the individual channel numbers to feed into a formula. This does the base-16-to-base-10 conversion pair by pair so you don't have to do the hex math by hand.
Example: #ff5733 splits into the pairs ff/57/33, which convert to 255/87/51 in decimal — so rgb(255, 87, 51) is the exact same color, just in the format a <canvas> script or an older CSS renderer expects.
How it works
- Pick a color or type a hex code (3 or 6 digits)
- Each hex pair is parsed to a 0–255 channel value on your device
- Copy the rgb() string or individual R/G/B numbers
Frequently asked questions
What is a hex color code?
A 6-digit base-16 number representing red, green, and blue as three 2-digit pairs (e.g. #ff5733 is ff red, 57 green, 33 blue) — the most common way to write a color in CSS and design tools.
Why do RGB values only go up to 255?
Each channel is stored in one byte (8 bits), and 2⁸ − 1 = 255 is the largest value a byte can hold — that's also why hex pairs (2 hex digits = 8 bits) max out at ff, which equals 255 in decimal.
Is my color values uploaded anywhere?
