Convert Hex To RGB In Python

Last updated June 8, 2023 by Jarvis Silva

In this tutorial I will show you the python program to convert Hex to RGB color code, Hex is a color code format which uses hexadecimal values to indicate a color whereas RGB is another color code which stands for red, green and blue.

I hope you understood what RGB and Hex are. Now let’s see how to convert a Hex color code to RGB color code in python.

Python Code To Convert Hex To RGB Color

hex = input('Enter HEX value: ').lstrip('#')
print('RGB value =', tuple(int(hex[i:i+2], 16) for i in (0, 2, 4)))

Above is the code for converting Hex to RGB, this code uses some python functions so let’s see how this code works:

• The code prompts the user to enter a HEX value using the input() function.
• The entered HEX value is stored in the variable hex.
• The lstrip('#') function is used to remove any leading ‘#’ character from the input, allowing the code to handle both ‘#FFFFFF’ and ‘FFFFFF’ formats.
• The tuple(int(hex[i:i+2], 16) for i in (0, 2, 4)) expression converts the HEX value to RGB.
  • It splits the HEX value into three 2-character segments (representing the red, green, and blue components).
  • For each segment, int(hex[i:i+2], 16) converts the segment to an integer using base 16 (hexadecimal).
  • The resulting RGB values are collected as a tuple.
• Finally, the RGB value is displayed using the print() function.

Now you can run this code to run this program you need to have python installed, if you don’t have, then read this: Install and setup python or else use this online python compiler, after running the program, you will see your given Hex code to an RGB Color Code like below.

Output

Enter HEX value: #eeeeee
RGB value = (238, 238, 238)
