Free and private, right in your browser. Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded. #B5832A R (0 to 255) G (0 to 255) B (0 to 255) HEX CSS rgb() rgb(181, 131, 42) ## RGB and HEX are the same color, written two ways RGB describes a color as three numbers from 0 to 255, one each for red, green, and blue light. HEX writes those same three numbers in base 16 and bolts them together behind a hash, so `rgb(181, 131, 42)` and `#b5832a` are the exact same shade. This **RGB to HEX converter** keeps both sides linked: nudge a slider or type a hex code and the other format, plus the live swatch, updates with it. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. ## Keep the color you just dialed in The brand hex you finally got right is the kind of value you copy once and need on every screen after. **Relic** is an encrypted, permanent memory for everything you copy, so that color, that palette, and that one gradient stay searchable on every device, forever, end-to-end encrypted so only you can read them. The converter is free. Never re-picking the same color twice is the upgrade. ## Frequently asked questions How do I convert RGB to hex?+ Type your red, green, and blue values (each from 0 to 255) and the hex code updates instantly, with a live swatch. It works both ways too: paste a hex code and the R, G, and B values fill in for you. How does RGB map to a hex code?+ A hex color is just the three RGB numbers written in base 16 and joined behind a hash. Each channel becomes two hex digits, so rgb(181, 131, 42) is b5, 83, 2a stuck together as #b5832a. Same color, two notations. Can I convert hex back to RGB?+ Yes. Paste a hex code into the HEX field and the R, G, and B sliders and numbers snap to match. Both 3-digit shorthand like #fff and full 6-digit codes like #b5832a are accepted. Why is my hex code showing an error?+ A hex color needs exactly 3 or 6 hexadecimal digits (0 to 9 and a to f), optionally with a leading hash, like #b5832a. Anything with other characters or the wrong length is flagged so you can fix it. Is anything uploaded when I convert a color?+ No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so the colors you enter never leave your device. You just copied that. What if you never lost it? **Relic** remembers everything you copy, forever, searchable on every device, and end-to-end encrypted so only you can read it. 250 MB free [Download forWindows](https://relic.space/download/windows)[Download formacOS](https://relic.space/download/macos)[Download forLinux](https://relic.space/download/linux)[Download forAndroid](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=relic.space.app&referrer=utm%5Fsource%3Drelic.space%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dwebsite%26utm%5Fcampaign%3Dcontent)[Download foriPhone](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/relic-clipboard-vault/id6800556025) More free tools [Color Contrast Checkercolor contrast checker](https://relic.space/tools/color-contrast-checker)[CSS Gradient Generatorcss gradient generator](https://relic.space/tools/css-gradient-generator)[Color Pickercolor picker online](https://relic.space/tools/color-picker)[JSON Formatterjson formatter](https://relic.space/tools/json-formatter)[Base64 Encode / Decodebase64 decode](https://relic.space/tools/base64)[Diff Checkerdiff checker](https://relic.space/tools/diff-checker)[All tools](https://relic.space/tools)
