Are HEX and RGB colors different?

No. Standard six-digit HEX and RGB notation describe the same three color channels. They are simply different ways to write the values.

HSL stands for hue, saturation, and lightness. Hue is an angle on the color wheel, while saturation and lightness are percentages.

Does this converter support transparency?

This page converts opaque three-channel colors. Eight-digit HEX, RGBA, and HSLA include a separate alpha channel and are not converted here.

Why can the same code look different on two screens?

A numeric code can render differently because displays, brightness settings, browser color management, and color profiles vary. The converter changes notation, not display calibration.

Split a six-digit HEX code into red, green, and blue pairs, then convert each pair from base 16 to a decimal value from 0 to 255. Three-digit codes first repeat each digit, so #F66 becomes #FF6666.
