What is the difference between 0-100 and 0-255 for RGB values?Both the 0-100 and 0-255 sets of sRGB data represent the same sRGB standard. Notation in the 0-100 scale simply uses percentages of the 0-255 scale. To illustrate this point, let's look at a particular PANTONE Color. For this example, we have used the 0-255 sRGB values for PANTONE 602 C taken from the PANTONE color bridge, as follows: sRGB 0-255: 237-233-140. To calculate the 0-100 value, simply use the absolute value of the decimal equivalent of the percentage of 255 contained in the 0-255 value, as follows: R 237 = 237/255 = .929 rounded to .93; Absolute value of .93 = 93 G 235 = 237/255 = .909 rounded to .91; Absolute value of .91 = 91 B 140 = 140/255 = .549 rounded to .55; Absolute value of .55 = 55. The resulting 0-100 value is 93-91-55. We hope that you find this explanation helpful.
