Converting an RGB color tuple to a hexidecimal string

I need to convert (0, 128, 64) to something like this "#008040". I'm not sure what to call the latter, making searching difficult.

Solution

  • Use the format operator %:

    >>> '#%02x%02x%02x' % (0, 128, 64)
'#008040'

    Note that it won't check bounds...

    >>> '#%02x%02x%02x' % (0, -1, 9999)
'#00-1270f'
