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

The top rated answer by Tim Down provides the best solution I can see for conversion to RGB. I like this solution for Hex conversion better though because it provides the most succinct bounds checking and zero padding for conversion to Hex.

function RGBtoHex (red, green, blue) {
  red = Math.max(0, Math.min(~~this.red, 255));
  green = Math.max(0, Math.min(~~this.green, 255));
  blue = Math.max(0, Math.min(~~this.blue, 255));

  return '#' + ('00000' + (red << 16 | green << 8 | blue).toString(16)).slice(-6);
};

The use of left shift '<<' and or '|' operators make this a fun solution too.
