Python: Convert a hexadecimal color code to its RGB components

Python String: Exercise-94 with Solution

Write a Python program to convert a hexadecimal color code to a tuple of integers corresponding to its RGB components.

  • Use a list comprehension in combination with int() and list slice notation to get the RGB components from the hexadecimal string.
  • Use tuple() to convert the resulting list to a tuple.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Define a function to convert a hexadecimal color code to an RGB tuple
def hex_to_rgb(hex):
    # Use a generator expression to convert pairs of hexadecimal digits to integers and create a tuple
    return tuple(int(hex[i:i+2], 16) for i in (0, 2, 4))

# Test the function with different hexadecimal color codes and print the results
print(hex_to_rgb('FFA501'))
print(hex_to_rgb('FFFFFF'))
print(hex_to_rgb('000000'))
print(hex_to_rgb('FF0000'))
print(hex_to_rgb('000080'))
print(hex_to_rgb('C0C0C0')) 

Sample Output:

(255, 165, 1)
(255, 255, 255)
(0, 0, 0)
(255, 0, 0)
(0, 0, 128)
(192, 192, 192)
