Convert Colors in Google Search Results with RGB to Hex Tool by @SouthernSEJ

Now you can convert colors from various web-based formats to another using a simple command in Google’s search results. The functionality drawing the most attention is the ‘RGB to Hex’ command, which has the potential to be a real asset to web designers and developers alike.

After entering “RGB to Hex” in the search bar, Google returns the following:

Google returns the values for a light blue color by default, but you can drag the slider or move the color picker to choose any color you wish.

That’s useful to a certain extent, but what if you want to convert a very specific color? To do that, enter the value into the search bar and Google will do the rest.

The reverse also applies; you can enter the hex value into the Google search bar it will be converted into RGB.

While this tool serves a very niche audience, it is one more example of Google turning into a one-stop-shop for everything search.
