About Hex to RGB Converter
Hex format
#RRGGBB where each pair is a hex byte (00-FF) for red, green, blue. Short form #RGB expands to #RRGGBB (e.g., #F0A → #FF00AA).
HSL vs RGB
RGB describes color as additive light. HSL describes it as Hue (the color itself, 0-360°), Saturation (gray to vivid), and Lightness (black to white). HSL is more intuitive for designers picking variants.
Complementary color
The color directly opposite on the color wheel. Calculated by inverting each RGB channel (255 − value). High-contrast and useful for accents, but pure complements can feel jarring; designers often soften them slightly.
