Converting Hex to RGB value in Python

Question

Working off Jeremy\'s response here: Converting hex color to RGB and vice-versa I was able to get a python program to convert preset colour hex codes (example #B4FBB8), howe

Answer 1

Just another option: matplotlib.colors module.

Quite simple:

>>> import matplotlib.colors
>>> matplotlib.colors.to_rgb('#B4FBB8')
(0.7058823529411765, 0.984313725490196, 0.7215686274509804)

Note that the input of to_rgb need not to be hexadecimal color format, it admits several color formats.

You can also use the deprecated hex2color

>>> matplotlib.colors.hex2color('#B4FBB8')
(0.7058823529411765, 0.984313725490196, 0.7215686274509804)

The bonus is that we have the inverse function, to_hex and few extra functions such as, rgb_to_hsv.
