  1. Start Hex digits #D3AF37
  2. Back 8-bit channels each pair of digits read as a byte 211 175 55
  3. Then One integer R × 65536 + G × 256 + B 13872951

About Decimal

A 24-bit color is one number: red times 65,536, plus green times 256, plus blue. Spreadsheets, databases and some APIs, such as Discord embeds and many game engines, store colors this way.

How this page writes it

  • Reads a whole number from 0 to 16,777,215, and writes it without separators.

Watch for

  • Alpha does not fit in 24 bits; for alpha, use the Android color int, which adds it as the top byte.
