Decimal to Hex formatting

I have a specific SQL Server coding problem.
I have an 8 character field that is an integer.
eg: 16776976
In hex this is FFFF10
This represents the Red, Green and Blue hex values for a colour, in
reverse order:
ie. 10 is red, FF is green, FF is blue
I need my SQL Server stored procedure to be able to get from the 8
character field to the red, green and blue codes. How do I get 16776976
into FFFF10 so I can then simply substring the appropriate values?

SELECT CAST(16776976 AS VARBINARY(10))

as this is not a text field, it is not a simple substring command to
get FF, FF and 10 out of this string. How can I extract these bytes
from this varbinary field so I actually have FF, FF and 10 as actual
text?
(I may also have to convert these into decimal integers but that is in
another step e.g. FF is 255)
Cheers
Mark|||Mark, perhaps this can help:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fn_dectobase(@.val AS bigint, @.base AS int)
RETURNS varchar(63)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @.r AS varchar(63), @.alldigits AS varchar(36);
SET @.alldigits = '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
SET @.r = '';
WHILE @.val > 0
BEGIN
SET @.r = SUBSTRING(@.alldigits, @.val % @.base + 1, 1) + @.r;
SET @.val = @.val / @.base;
END
RETURN @.r;
END
GO
SELECT dbo.fn_dectobase(16776976, 16);
Output: FFFF10

Hi Mark,
The following will give you the integer values for R, G and B:
declare @.num int
set @.num = 16776976
select @.num / 65536 AS R, @.num % 65536 / 256 AS G, @.num % 256 AS B
Best, Hugo
