How to convert from RGB to Hexadecimal with a calculator...

    To convert a red, green, or blue value to hexadecimal, you must first divide the value by 16, subtract the integer (this becomes the first value of the two-character set) and multiply the remainder by 16 for the second value.

    Here's how I got the color for one of my sites...


    In this example...
    • Red = 212
    • Blue = 159
    • Green = 85

    Red to Hexadecimal...
    • 212 / 16 = 13.25
    • 13 = D
    • .25 * 16 = 4
    Red 212 = Hexadecimal D4

    Green to Hexadecimal...
    • 159 / 16 = 9.9375
    • .9375 * 16 = 15
    • 15 = F
    Green 159 = Hexadecimal 9F

    Blue to Hexadecimal...
    • 85 / 16 = 5.3125
    • .3125 * 16 = 5
    Blue 85 = Hexadecimal 55

    Hexadecimal #D49F55 is this color.

I used to have a 96 color table with their codes right here, but I decided that the above graphic met most people's needs (and saved time and frustration) so I took it off.
