Answer 3

Use internet or some color picker to find perfect color, than copy/paste code, if you code on vs code you have build in color picker.
And remember basics:
Hex need to have # and it is followed with combination of number and letters (0-9 and a-f)
First pair is red shade, second is green and last is blue, f is lightest and 0 is darkest, so:

#ff0000 - is red color
#00ff00 - green
#0000ff - blue
When you repeat same symbols you can type it shorter like #f00

#ffffff - white
#000000 - dark

Any other combination of same letters/numbers like
#eee,#333,#272727 #c2c2c2 will give you some gray color
