How to convert from hexadecimal color code to RGB color.
hex color code
The hex color code is a 6 digit hexadecimal (base 16) number:
RRGGBB16
The 2 left digits represent the red color.
The 2 middle digits represent the green color.
The 2 right digits represent the blue color.
RGB color is a combination of red, green and blue colors:
(R, G, B)
Red, green, and blue each use 8 bits, with integer values ranging from 0 to 255.
So the number of colors that can be generated is:
256×256×256 = 16777216 = 100000016
1. Take 2 left digits of hex color code and convert to decimal value to get red color level.
2. Get 2 middle digits of hex color code and convert to decimal value to get green color level.
3. Find 2 correct digits of hex color code and convert to decimal value to get blue color level.
Example 1
Convert red hex color code FF0000 to RGB color:
hex = FF0000
So the RGB colors are:
R = FF16 = 25510
G = 0016 = 010
B = 0016 = 010
Or
RGB = (255, 0, 0)
Example #2
Convert Gold Hex Color Code FFD700 to RGB Color:
Hex = FFD700
So the RGB colors are:
R = FF16 = 25510
G = D716 = 21510
B = 0016 = 010
Or
RGB = (255, 215, 0)
