Color Calculator

Calculates the RGB values of colors. With color palette and converter. RGB stands for red, green, blue. A color can be precisely determined by the corresponding components. A proportional color value can be between 0 and 255 (decimal) or between 00 and ff (hexadecimal). The total color value is made up of these three components.

	Binary	Octal	Decimal	Hexadecimal
Color
Red
Green
Blue

HTML/CSS value: #ff0000

Fill out the color values or choose a color from the palette.
Calculate converts the values from one column into other number systems (like binary) and displays the color.
Show displays the chosen color in the upper large color field, only for decimal and hexadecimal.

If all three values are the same size, then the result is a shade of gray. If the first of the three values is the largest, then the color is reddish, if the second is the largest value, then it is greenish, and for the third it is blueish. If red and green dominate, then yellow is the result, if red and blue dominate, it is purple, and if green and blue dominate, it is turquoise. The further apart the three values are, the brighter the color appears, and the closer they are together, the more it goes through pastel tones into gray.
The above selectable color palette includes the 216 web-safe colors. This goes back to a standard from the mid-1990s, which is now hardly relevant, but represents a sensible limitation for such a table. In fact, 256³ different colors can be displayed, that is 16.8 million, which is quite a bit more than the human eye can distinguish and of course much more than can be presented sensibly in a table.

This color calculator is intended for designers and website creators, or for anyone who wants to play around with colors on the screen.
