Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between hex and RGB?
- Both represent the same colors. Hex uses base-16 numbers (#FF0000 = red), while RGB uses decimal values (rgb(255, 0, 0) = red). Hex is more common in CSS/HTML, while RGB is used in programming and design tools.
- Does this support alpha (transparency) values?
- Yes. Enter an 8-digit hex code (#RRGGBBAA) to get RGBA output with an alpha channel value between 0 and 1.
- What does each pair of hex digits represent?
- The first pair (RR) is red (0-255), the second (GG) is green (0-255), and the third (BB) is blue (0-255). FF = 255 (maximum), 00 = 0 (none). For example, #00FF00 is pure green.
- Can I convert back from RGB to hex?
- Yes, use our RGB to Hex converter tool for the reverse conversion.
