CSS Color Converter

example: #DDDDDD :

Hexadecimal notation, 6 digits: #DDDDDD
Decimal notation, integer values: rgb(221,221,221)
Decimal, percentage values: rgb(87%,87%,87%)
Hexadecimal notation, 3 digits: #DDD
Hexadecimal notation, web-safe: #CCC

Ended up being very useful. Already used it multiple times today!
