HEX to RGB Converter
Convert a three- or six-digit HEX color into RGB, HSL and approximate CMYK values. Compare representations of one solid color for design and development work.
- Accept short and full HEX notation
- Read RGB and HSL color values
- Calculate an approximate CMYK breakdown
Enter a solid HEX color
Use a value such as #369 or #336699. The three-digit form expands each digit before conversion.
Use RGB in interface code
RGB describes the red, green and blue components. It is useful when another editor expects channel values instead of hexadecimal notation.
Adjust color through HSL
Hue, saturation and lightness describe the same color differently. They can make it easier to reason about a palette’s hue relationships.
Treat print values as approximate
CMYK is calculated mathematically without a printer or ICC profile. Ask your print workflow for a color-managed conversion before final production.
HEX Color Converter FAQs
This converter accepts three or six digits, not an alpha channel.
No. Ink, paper and color profiles affect the printed result.
Each digit is repeated: #369 expands to #336699. Its RGB values are 51, 102 and 153. Enter either form here to see the color representations. CMYK is a mathematical approximation and does not account for a printer or paper profile.
