How are RGB values converted to HEX?

Each 0–255 channel becomes a two-digit hexadecimal pair: red, green and blue form #RRGGBB.

What does the alpha value mean?

Alpha controls opacity from fully transparent to fully opaque. Eight-digit HEX stores alpha in its final pair.

Check accessibility before publishing

WCAG contrast results are shown with text labels as well as color. Normal text needs 4.5:1 for AA; large text needs 3:1.

Formulas

HEX = #RR GG BB [AA]q = ⌊x ÷ 16⌋ · r = x − 16q255 = 16 × 15 + 15 → FFContrast ratio = (Lₘₐₓ + 0.05) ÷ (Lₘᵢₙ + 0.05)

RGB–HEX converter FAQ

How are RGB values converted to HEX?

Each 0–255 channel becomes a two-digit hexadecimal pair: red, green and blue form #RRGGBB.

What does the alpha value mean?

Alpha controls opacity from fully transparent to fully opaque. Eight-digit HEX stores alpha in its final pair.

How do I make a palette accessible?

Check foreground and background contrast, do not rely on color alone, and test interactive states as well as body text.

Why can a printed color differ from the screen?

Screens emit RGB light, while printers mix inks and depend on paper, profiles and calibration, so an exact match is not guaranteed.
