What is the difference between HEX and RGB color codes?

HEX and RGB are two different ways to represent the same colors. HEX uses a six-digit hexadecimal code (e.g., #FF5733) where each pair represents red, green, and blue values from 00 to FF. RGB uses three numbers from 0 to 255 (e.g., rgb(255, 87, 51)). Our color picker displays both formats simultaneously, making it easy to use the correct format for your project. Web developers typically use HEX in CSS, while graphic designers often prefer RGB in design software. Both describe the same color, and our hex color wheel tool helps you convert between them instantly.
