Convert RGB to Hex

This function converts RGB color values to a hexadecimal string using bitwise operations and string formatting, ensuring compatibility with web design and color utilities.

const rgbToHex = (r, g, b) => ((r << 16) | (g << 8) | b).toString(16).padStart(6, '0');

// Usage
console.log(rgbToHex(255, 0, 0)); // Outputs 'ff0000'

Use Cases
