Benchmark: rgba vs rgb vs hex canvas

HTML Preparation code:

<canvas id="hex" width="64" height="64"></canvas>
<canvas id="rgb" width="64" height="64"></canvas>
<canvas id="rgba" width="64" height="64"></canvas>

Script Preparation code:

var hex = document.getElementById(`hex`)
var ctxHex = hex.getContext(`2d`)
var rgb = document.getElementById(`rgb`)
var ctxRgb = rgb.getContext(`2d`)
var rgba = document.getElementById(`rgba`)
var ctxRgba = rgba.getContext(`2d`)

Tests:

rgba
ctxRgba.clearRect(0, 0, rgba.width, rgba.height) ctxRgba.fillStyle = `rgba(38, 139, 210, 0.5)` ctxRgba.fillRect(0,0, rgba.width, rgba.height)
rgb
ctxRgb.clearRect(0, 0, rgb.width, rgb.height) ctxRgb.fillStyle = `rgb(38, 139, 210)` ctxRgb.fillRect(0, 0, rgb.width, rgb.height)
hex
ctxHex.clearRect(0, 0, hex.width, hex.height) ctxHex.fillStyle = `#268bd2` ctxHex.fillRect(0, 0, hex.width, hex.height)
