tikz - define color in hex format

Question

I have a color hex string, e.g. ecd9ed, I know I can define it as below:

\definecolor{color1bg}{RGB}{236,217,237}

But I wish to skip the conversion from hex to decimal. Is it possible to define a color in hex string? Maybe something like below:

\definecolor{color1bg}{RGB}{#ecd9ed}

Try \definecolor{color1bg}{HTML}{ECD9ED} ... Also, this is an xcolor command and possibly tikz is loading it but it is not its job this command... — koleygr, Jun 17 '19 at 20:40

\definecolor{color1bg}{HTML}{ECD9ED} is the way to define colors with HTML definition.

You need the package xcolor of course.

Thanks! Just also confirming that tikz does indeed load xcolor already, as you mentioned above. – jessexknight Aug 21 '21 at 13:33
