About HEX and RGB
HEX and RGB are both ways to represent colors, but they use different systems.
HEX uses six hexadecimal digits (0-9 and A-F) to represent the intensity of red, green, and blue in a color. #FF0000 represents full red (FF), no green (00), and no blue (00).
RGB uses three decimal numbers (0-255) to represent the intensity of red, green, and blue. 255 is the highest intensity, while 0 is the lowest. So (255, 0, 0) means full red, no green, and no blue.
HEX:
- Uses six hexadecimal digits (0-9 and A-F).
- Each pair of digits represents the intensity of red, green, and blue (e.g., #FF0000 is full red, no green, no blue).
- Compact representation, often used in web development.
RGB:
- Uses three decimal numbers (0-255).
- Each number represents the intensity of red, green, and blue (e.g., (255, 0, 0) is full red, no green, no blue).
- More intuitive for some users, as it uses a familiar decimal system.
