that would work for a regular hex number, but not for an RGB color code.
The color code is broken up into 3 distinct values, one for Red, One for
Green, and one for Blue.  The values are from 00 to FF for each.

Starting from the least significant digit, a9f695 is:

5 +
9 * 16^1 +
6 * 16^2 +
15(F=15) * 16^3 +
9 * 16 ^4 +
10(A=10) * 16 ^ 6

You can just loop through the length of the string and apply the power of 16
to the position of the character in the string+1. You'll need to convert A-F
to 10-15, so you might want to make a decimal-to-hex array for store the
conversion values.

Hey guys,

Anyone have a way to convert hexadecimal to a decimal number? (converting a
color code '#a9f695' to the decimal equivalent?

Thanks!

Jason
