From hex code to RGB
Paste a HEX code — with or without the #, in 3, 4, 6 or 8 digits — and the converter shows the RGB value ready for CSS, along with the separate red, green and blue numbers. Short codes are expanded automatically (#38f is #3388ff), and 8-digit codes include alpha as rgba().
You'll also see HSL, OKLCH, HSV, CMYK and decimal versions of the color, a live swatch, and how readable white and black text would be on it.
