Frequently asked questions
What is a hex code?
A hex (hexadecimal) code is a six-digit representation of a color made of three pairs — red, green and blue — each from 00 to FF. For example #202A44 is 32 red, 42 green, 68 blue. An optional fourth pair encodes alpha (opacity).
How do I read a hex code?
Split the six digits into three pairs: RR GG BB. Each pair is a base-16 number from 00 (none) to FF (255, full). Higher values in a channel mean more of that primary. Equal pairs (like #808080) are always a neutral grey.
Hex vs RGB vs CMYK — what's the difference?
Hex and RGB describe the same additive model for screens (light mixed from red, green and blue); hex is just RGB written in base 16. CMYK is a subtractive model for print (cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink). A screen color has no single true CMYK value — it depends on the printer and paper.
How do I find a color's code from a website?
Use the eyedropper control above (in supported browsers) to sample any pixel on your screen, including a webpage. Otherwise, take a screenshot and use the image color picker, or inspect the element in your browser's developer tools to read its CSS color value.
