We will assume that the input is going to be with or without the # (as in 55bc9a or #55bc9a):

1. Open a new PowerShell file and type the following:

$Rgb = Read-Host "Enter the hexadecimal RGB value"
$TrimmedRgb = $Rgb.Substring($Rgb.Length - 6)

$R = $TrimmedRgb.Substring(0, 2)
$G = $TrimmedRgb.Substring(2, 2)
$B = $TrimmedRgb.Substring(4, 2)
