How can I understand html colors?

Answer 1

Do you mean the hex color codes (#FF00FF) ? Well, you first have to know how does the hexadecimal numbers work, they are like decimal number except that every digit can have 16 different values, from 0 to F. Every two digits are the intensity of a pixel color (Red, Green, Blue, in that order). If you write #FF0000 it will be an intense Red because the Red color is at max and Green and Blue intensities are at 0. Different combinations of those three primary colors can give millions of different colors.

Answer 7

As I said, hexadecimal numbers have 16 posible values per digit, they are 0123456789ABCDEF. RGB colors use 2 hex digits per color, that's a number from 0 to 255 in decimal for each color and about 16 million from combinations of red green and blue.
