What is HEX Color?
A HEX color code is a 6-symbol code made of up to three 2-symbol elements. Each of the 2-symbol elements expresses a color value from 0 to 255. HEX codes are widely used in web design and HTML/CSS to define exact colors on a screen.
What is RGB Color?
RGB stands for Red, Green, and Blue. It is an additive color model in which red, green, and blue light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. In CSS, an RGB color can be defined using the rgb() function, which accepts three parameters for red, green, and blue.
HEX vs RGB: When to Use Which?
Both HEX and RGB are widely supported in modern browsers. HEX codes are more compact and easier to copy-paste. However, RGB (specifically RGBA) is often preferred when you need to apply alpha transparency.
FAQ
Is #FFF the same as #FFFFFF?
Yes, 3-digit HEX codes are a shorthand for 6-digit codes. Each digit is duplicated, so #FFF becomes #FFFFFF, representing pure white.
Can HEX have transparency?
Modern CSS supports 8-digit HEX codes where the last two digits represent the alpha (transparency) channel. For example, #00000080 is a 50% transparent black.
