Color Codes Conversion
Different color codes
As we know that color here is of 24-bit format, which means 8 bits of red, 8 bits of green, 8 bits of blue. By changing the quantity of the 3 portions, you can made different colors.
Binary color format

For gray color, All the value should be 128.
CMYK color model
CMYK model is used for printers in which two carters are used, one for CMY color and other for black color. CMY can be changed to RGB.
In CMYK color model C stands for cyan, M stands for magenta, Y stands for yellow, and K stands for black.
Color: Cyan
Image :
Decimal code: RGB(0, 255, 255)
Explanation:
For cyan color, red should be set 0, and for the green and blue portion, we have to give its maximum value, i.e. 255.
Color: Magenta

Conversion
RGB to Hex code
For example, if we want to convert the white color code (255, 255, 255) to hex code.
Following are the steps for RGB to Hex code conversion:
- Taking the 1s portion i.e. value of red(R) 255.
- Dividing it by 16. We will get 15 as a factor as well as remainder which is FF.
- Repeat step 1 and 2 for another 2 portions.
- Combine all the three hex code into one we will get #FFFFFF
Hex to RGB code
For example, if we want to convert white color code #FFFFFF
Following are the steps for converting hex code to RGB decimal format:
- Divide the number into 3 equal parts: FF FF FF
- Taking the 1st part and separating it: F F
- Now convert each part into binary separately: (1111) (1111)
- Combine both the binary values into one: 11111111
- Now convert the binary number into a decimal number: 255
- Now, repeat step 1 to 5 for another two portions.
- Combine all the three hex code into one we will get (255, 255, 255)
Following are some colors and their hex code
