RGB to hex and hex to RGB

Question

How to convert colors in RGB format to hex format and vice versa?

For example, convert \'#0080C0\' to (0, 128, 192).

Answer 1

I'm working with XAML data that has a hex format of #AARRGGBB (Alpha, Red, Green, Blue). Using the answers above, here's my solution:

function hexToRgba(hex) {
    var bigint, r, g, b, a;
    //Remove # character
    var re = /^#?/;
    var aRgb = hex.replace(re, '');
    bigint = parseInt(aRgb, 16);

    //If in #FFF format
    if (aRgb.length == 3) {
        r = (bigint >> 4) & 255;
        g = (bigint >> 2) & 255;
        b = bigint & 255;
        return "rgba(" + r + "," + g + "," + b + ",1)";
    }

    //If in #RRGGBB format
    if (aRgb.length >= 6) {
        r = (bigint >> 16) & 255;
        g = (bigint >> 8) & 255;
        b = bigint & 255;
        var rgb = r + "," + g + "," + b;

        //If in #AARRBBGG format
        if (aRgb.length == 8) {
            a = ((bigint >> 24) & 255) / 255;
            return "rgba(" + rgb + "," + a.toFixed(1) + ")";
        }
    }
    return "rgba(" + rgb + ",1)";
}
