hexadecimal or RGB?

I see a lot of code using RGB verses hexadecimal.

What is best for most browsers?

Thanks,
jeff

Makes no difference. But I do not see much use of RGB....

Count the number of characters required to define a color.

color: rgb (255,255,255) = up to 16 characters

color: #FFFFFF = 7 characters max.

Hex is more efficient code-wise.

Shouldn't make any difference in modern browsers. RGB might be easier to
do some calculations with, because it's the more familiar number system.
The hex version is shorter and often more convenient for programmers.
