How do I convert HEX to RGB by hand?

Split the code into three pairs and convert each from hexadecimal to decimal. For #FF8800: FF = 255, 88 = 136, 00 = 0, so rgb(255, 136, 0).

No. Codes are accepted with or without it.

What is an 8-digit HEX code?

The last two digits are the alpha (opacity) value. #33669980 is the color #336699 at about 50% opacity, or rgba(51, 102, 153, 0.5).

How it works

A HEX code is three pairs of hexadecimal digits: red, green and blue. Each pair is a number from 00 to FF, which is 0 to 255 in decimal. So #336699 is red 0x33 = 51, green 0x66 = 102, blue 0x99 = 153. A three-digit code doubles each digit (#369 is #336699), and an optional fourth pair is the alpha channel, giving rgba().

Common use cases

Turning a color from a design file into an rgb() value for CSS
Getting RGB numbers for software that does not accept HEX
Adding transparency to a HEX color by converting it to rgba()
