You may use, for example, the website RGB to HSV color conversion to convert the colors from RGB to HSV.

For your example of #0099cc, when entering the hex value and pressing Convert:

enter image description here

The HSV values are in percentage, so need to be divided by 100. This then gives: 1.95;1.0;0.8. The R,G,B values are divided by 255 to change the range from 0..255 to 0..1.

I have heard it mentioned that if you change the color picker to RGB, Vegas Pro will use RGB values. (I don't use it so cannot verify).

  • thanks a lot. Have you any idea why vegas keeps things so complicated, comparing to all-present hex values? – qadenza Jul 04 '21 at 15:03

    Some genius developer made this wonderful decision, and everyone is stuck with it ever since. – harrymc Jul 04 '21 at 15:05
