Worked examples
Input: #3366CC
Result: rgb(51, 102, 204).
Input: #FF880080
Result: rgba(255, 136, 0, 0.5), because hex 80 is 128 out of 255, about 50.2% opacity.
Background
A HEX color is three bytes written in base 16: #RRGGBB. Each pair is a value from 00 to FF, which is 0 to 255 in decimal. Eight-digit HEX adds a fourth pair for alpha. Three-digit shorthand such as #F80 expands to #FF8800.
HSL is derived from RGB for easier adjustments: change lightness to get tints and shades without altering the hue.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting that alpha in 8-digit HEX is the last pair, not the first as in some systems.
- Reading 80 in hex as 80 in decimal. It is 128.
- Rounding HSL values and expecting an exact round-trip back to the original HEX.
