Example #1

Convert red color (255,0,0) to hex color code:

R = 255₁₀ = FF₁₆

G = 0₁₀ = 00₁₆

B = 0₁₀ = 00₁₆

So the hex color code is:

Hex = FF0000

Example #2

Convert gold color (255,215,0) to hex color code:

R = 255₁₀ = FF₁₆

G = 215₁₀ = D7₁₆

B = 0₁₀ = 00₁₆

So the hex color code is:

Hex = FFD700
