Question 1

How do you convert HEX to RGB?

Accepted Answer

A HEX code splits into three two-digit pairs after the #, one each for red, green, and blue. Each pair is read as a base-16 (hexadecimal) number and converted to its base-10 equivalent (0-255) — for example, #1D4ED8 becomes RGB(29, 78, 216).

Question 2

Does a shorthand 3-digit HEX code work the same way?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A shorthand code like #18F doubles each digit before converting, so it expands to #1188FF, then converts the same way as a standard 6-digit code.
