CSS HEX Colors

HEX Value

In CSS, you can specify colors using the following format of hexadecimal values:

#rrggbb

Where rr (red), gg (green), and bb (blue) are hexadecimal values between 00 and ff (the same as decimal 0-255).

For example, #ff0000 is displayed as red because red is set to the maximum value (ff), and the others are set to the minimum value (00).
