This means that there is no loss to conversion between RGB and html "hex" valuesīecause no conversion is happening the numbers are the same. Now HTML color inputs are restrivcted to RGB color (only). For any other bit depth loss is the same as changing to 8 bit which is the best most browsers can do anyway. There is no conversion from 8 bit per channel color so there is no data loss. Which is a nifty way of keeping databytes aligned with the underlying computer memory,and thus always use the same width. Its just a indication that the numbers are stored in hexadecimal. This also depends on the color profiles used. If you have a CMYK JPG, PSD or TIFF file, open it and view it on Ps or another program like PhotoPaint that have good color management. For example, if you have a PDF file as a sample, open it in Adobe Reader and measure the color from there. Take a standalone picker, but it is important that you open the file on a program that accurately sows the color.

If someone sent you a file on that color mode, and you need to match the electronic version of the color, you should use the option 2 I described. If you have not any printed material, and you still need a duller look, you can simply tweak the file. Where you need to match a printed material to an electronic version.īasically, a CMYK image has a duller look, because it is simulating the smaller gamut of a print. For web design, you should not use CMYK color mode on images, except in my opinion, in one case. I need to complement a bit regarding CMYK. There is no real advantage of using HEX values. In my opinion, this is the most flexible notation for colors. Take a standalone color picker to measure the computed values of the color you have on the background you also have. Opacity, the same as the alpha value will have a decimal notation. that is the whole point of transparency.Ĭonvert the RGB values to HEX (without the alpha value) and add after that an opacity CSS property. If you put another color the overall color will change. RGB A to HEX, will not because we do not even know what is beneath the color. RGB to HEX will give you the same exact color. See the code below.I will only complement the other answers. If the length of the converted number is 1, we have to add a 0 before it. To change a value from decimal to hexadecimal, we can use the toString(16) function. To convert from RGB to HEX, we only need to convert the decimal number of each color from RGB to hexadecimal and then concatenate them together to create the equivalent hex color space. To make a conversion function, we need to know the difference between the two color spaces.įor example, the difference between the RGB and HEX color space is that the RGB is in decimal format, and the HEX is in the hexadecimal format. So, we have to make our own conversion function to convert one color space into another. The conversion between different color spaces is difficult in JavaScript because there is no predefined function present in JavaScript, which can convert between different color spaces. Convert RGB to HEX Using the toString() Function in JavaScript This tutorial will discuss how to convert RGB to HEX using the toString() function in JavaScript.
