+# fix(convert): zero-pad each channel in RgbToHex
+
+## Problem
+
+`RgbToHex` (and its alias `Rgb2hex`) does not zero-pad channel values below
+`0x10`, so a single hex digit is emitted for those channels:
+
+```go
+color.RgbToHex([]int{1, 2, 3})   // "123"    , want "010203"
+color.RgbToHex([]int{0, 0, 0})   // "000"    , want "000000"
+color.RgbToHex([]int{10, 11, 12}) // "0a0b0c" -> actually "abc"
+```
+
+This breaks two contracts:
+
+1. The round-trip with `HexToRgb` is no longer an identity for colors with any
+   channel below 16:
+
+   ```go
+   color.RgbToHex(color.HexToRgb("010203")) // "123", not "010203"
+   ```
+
+2. `Rgb2basic` looks a color up in `hex2basicMap`, whose keys are all
+   fixed-width 6-digit hex strings (e.g. "000000"). Because `RgbToHex(0,0,0)`
+   returns "000", pure black never matches the fast-path map and silently falls
+   through to the approximate `RgbToAnsi`.
+
+The sibling converter `RgbTo256` already builds its hex key with
+`fmt.Sprintf("%02x%02x%02x", ...)`, so this is an inconsistency within the same
+file.
+
+## Root cause
+
+`convert.go`, `RgbToHex`:
+
+```go
+for _, v := range rgb {
+	hexNodes = append(hexNodes, strconv.FormatInt(int64(v), 16))
+}
+```
+
+`strconv.FormatInt(_, 16)` produces the minimal representation, i.e. one digit
+for values 0-15.
+
+## Fix
+
+Format each channel as a fixed two-digit hex value:
+
+```go
+hexNodes = append(hexNodes, fmt.Sprintf("%02x", v))
+```
+
+`fmt` is already imported in the file. Existing values >= 16 are unchanged.
+
+## Test
+
+Extended `TestRgbToHex` in `utils_test.go` with small-channel cases
+(`{0,0,0}`, `{1,2,3}`, `{10,11,12}`) and an explicit
+`RgbToHex(HexToRgb(hex)) == hex` round-trip check.
+
+- Gate: `go test ./` -> ok (PASS)
+- `go vet ./...` -> exit 0
+- `go build ./...` -> exit 0
+
+Counterfactual: reverting `RgbToHex` to `strconv.FormatInt(int64(v), 16)` makes
+the new test fail with `expect: "abc"` vs `actual: "0a0b0c"`.
+
+Note: `gofmt -l convert.go` reports the file, but this is pre-existing (a doc
+comment near line 866, unrelated to this change and present on the base commit).
+The changed region is gofmt-clean, so unrelated lines were intentionally left
+untouched.
