What are Hex Code colors?
A color hex code is a hexadecimal way to represent a color in RGB format by combining three values – the amounts of red, green and blue in a particular shade of color. These color hex codes have been an integral part of HTML for web design, and remain a key way of representing color formats digitally.
Why use hex colors?
You can use Hex color codes to display different colors for a design project like a website. It’s an easy way to distinguish between colors. Once you understand how they work, you can easily change the red, blue or green values to create a different hue. This is especially useful because hex color codes give you such a range of color options, which guarantees color fidelity.
How do hexadecimal colors work?
Hexadecimal colors use sixteen different values to represent a single hue, be it red, green or blue. This is powerful because it gives you a wide range of hues for each color – specifically sixteen. Each color is divided into a number or character, ranging from 0-9 and A-F, where 0 is the minimum value and F is the maximum value. Then the color classification is divided into #RRGGBB, where RR is red, GG is green and BB is blue.
