What the HEX to RGB Converter does

Once you see that structure, hex codes become readable. #FF0000 is maximum red with no green or blue. #FFFFFF is all three at maximum, which is white. #808080 is all three at half, which is mid grey. RGB notation is what you need when a colour has to be manipulated in code or given an alpha channel.
