Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a 3-digit hex like #abc?
Each digit is doubled: #abc becomes #aabbcc, which is rgb(170, 187, 204). The converter expands shorthand hex automatically.
How do I add transparency?
Once you have the RGB values, use rgba(r, g, b, a) where a is an alpha between 0 (transparent) and 1 (opaque).

What contrast ratio should I aim for?
Level AA requires a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Level AAA requires at least 7:1 for normal text and 4.5:1 for large text.
