What Is This Tool?
This tool enables bidirectional conversion between HEX color codes and RGB values commonly used in digital design. Users can enter a HEX code, starting with '#', to instantly get the corresponding RGB values or input RGB numbers formatted as 'R, G, B' to find the matching HEX code. An interactive color picker updates both formats in real-time, giving a live visual preview of the selected color.
