Frequently Asked Questions

What do HEX and RGB mean?

HEX (hexadecimal) is a 6-digit code representing colors using base-16 numbers. RGB stands for Red, Green, Blue - the three primary colors of light. Each RGB value ranges from 0 to 255, indicating how much of each color is present.

How are HEX codes structured?

A HEX code like #FF5733 has three pairs of characters: FF (red), 57 (green), and 33 (blue). Each pair is a hexadecimal number from 00 to FF, which equals 0 to 255 in decimal. So FF5733 converts to RGB(255, 87, 51).

Why do web designers use HEX codes?

HEX codes are compact and easy to include in CSS. Writing #FF5733 is shorter than rgb(255, 87, 51). However, RGB makes it easier to understand color composition and adjust individual channels programmatically.
