RGBA to Android XML examples
About RGBA and Android XML
RGBA is RGB plus an alpha channel for opacity, written as rgba(255, 87, 51, 0.5). Alpha goes from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque). The same opacity can be written as 8-digit HEX, like #ff573380.
Android XML resources write colors as #RRGGBB or #AARRGGBB with the alpha first, like #80FF5733 for 50% opacity. This ARGB order differs from CSS, where alpha comes last.
How the conversion works
We read the RGBA value, convert it to CIE XYZ with the matrices from the CSS Color 4 specification and then into Android XML. Values outside the target gamut are mapped by the CSS Color 4 algorithm, which keeps lightness and hue and reduces chroma.
Questions and answers
How do I convert RGBA to Android XML?
Paste or type a RGBA value into the field above. PickShade converts it with the CSS Color 4 formulas as you type, and one click copies the Android XML value.
Is the RGBA to Android XML conversion exact?
The math is exact and the result is rounded only for display, with enough digits to convert back to the same color. If the color does not fit the target gamut, PickShade warns you and shows the nearest color that fits.
Can I get other formats at the same time?
Yes. Every other format, including OKLCH, Display P3, Tailwind, SwiftUI, Flutter and Android, is listed below the result and copies with one click.
Is this converter free?
Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up and runs entirely in your browser.
