Hex To RGBA & RGBA to Hex

HEX to RGBA Conversion

HEX color codes are six-character representations of colors, using a combination of letters (A-F) and numbers (0-9). They can optionally include two additional characters for alpha transparency (making 8 characters total).

Converting HEX to RGBA translates this hexadecimal representation into red, green, blue values (0-255) and an alpha channel (0-1) that represents transparency, where 0 is fully transparent and 1 is fully opaque.

RGBA to HEX Conversion

RGBA color values consist of red, green, and blue components (0-255) plus an alpha channel (0-1) for transparency. This format provides a more human-readable way to specify colors with transparency.

Converting RGBA to HEX translates these numerical values into a compact hexadecimal string, with optional alpha channel representation for transparency when needed.

Difference Between RGBA and RGB

Both RGB and RGBA are color models that represent colors using red, green, and blue components.

The key difference is that RGBA includes an additional alpha channel (the "A" in RGBA) that controls transparency. This alpha value ranges from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque), allowing for semi-transparent colors which is not possible with the standard RGB format.

RGB format uses the syntax: rgb(red, green, blue)

RGBA format uses the syntax: rgba(red, green, blue, alpha)
