tocolor converts a series of RGB(A) numbers into hex form. It is just another way of representing colour, like HSV, HSL or CYMK is.

in your example  you cann't

you can know any color code from this web site https://html-color-codes.info/

Better not knowing, it is a computer notation which is not very useful for us humans. And it is the raw output after all.

Better save RGBA in a table as input and use that.

The only reason for learning this notation is if you are working with a complexes non script language, where that knowledge is required.

that's a hex converted to a base10 number.
You can convert that back to HEX and HEX to RGB I think.
Use this to convert from base 10 to HEX and use this to convert from HEX to RGBA
 

Edit: Seems like it returns 255, 255, 100 (R, G, B) instead of 255, 100, 255 (R, G, B)
