How do I convert a HEX color to RGB?

Split the six-digit hex code into three pairs (RR, GG, BB) and convert each pair from hexadecimal to a decimal number 0–255. For example, #FF8800 becomes RGB(255, 136, 0).

Why convert to HSL for CSS theming?

HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) makes it easy to create color scales. By keeping the hue constant and varying lightness, you can generate dark and light variants of a color without guessing hex codes.

Do color conversions lose precision?

HEX and RGB are mathematically equivalent — no precision loss. Converting to HSL involves floating-point arithmetic, and rounding the output to whole degrees can cause a slight shift when converting back.

Convert Between Color Formats Online

CSS supports multiple color notations — HEX, RGB, HSL, and more — and design tools export colors in whichever format they prefer.
