How do I convert HEX to RGB?

Enter your HEX color code (like #FF5733) in the input field, and the converter instantly shows the RGB values (255, 87, 51). You can also convert from RGB to HEX by entering RGB values. The tool supports HEX, RGB, HSL, and CMYK formats.

What is the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL?

HEX (#FF5733) is a hexadecimal notation used in web development. RGB (255, 87, 51) describes red, green, and blue values 0-255. HSL (9°, 100%, 60%) describes hue (color), saturation (intensity), and lightness. All represent the same colors differently.

Which color format should I use for web design?

HEX is most common for CSS colors. RGB/RGBA is useful when you need transparency (the A is alpha/opacity). HSL is great for programmatically adjusting colors—just change the lightness value to create lighter/darker variants.

Why do colors look different on screen vs print?

Screens use RGB (light-based), while printers use CMYK (ink-based). These are different color spaces with different gamuts. Some bright screen colors cannot be accurately printed. Always convert to CMYK for print projects and do test prints.
