How the Conversion Works
Hexadecimal color notation packs three 0-255 color channel values into a compact 6-character code, with each pair of hex digits representing one channel (00-FF in hex, equivalent to 0-255 in decimal).
Why Hex Codes Remain the Standard
This compact format is why hex codes remain the standard way designers and developers communicate exact colors in CSS, design tools, and brand style guides - a single short string unambiguously specifies an exact color across any platform or tool that supports it.
