Why doesn't it make a difference when you don't put a # when doing hex codes?

Or at least it didn't for me!

The only right way to write an hexadecimal color code in Html/Css is to prepend the value with the '#'... Because of Html ( and browsers ) permissivity, you can have the lucky that the browser correct your code, but you cannot be sure that will be the case with any other browser, or during time in future ^^ https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color_value

No, but that's because I was trying to make it black but instead of doing 000000 I accidentally did 777777, making it grey which I kept because it looks better.

So 'cause what I was writing wasn't a number?

# is an identifier. At one time it probably made a difference for html, but it doesn't seem to anymore

So it really doesn't matter whether you use it or not?

Are you getting the color output you desire? Personally I use it, but that's out of habit. makes it easier to skim your code and find it
