Anybody else frustrated with hex colors?

Question

Is anyone else frustrated with the rgb color questions in html challenges? How many developers REALLY KNOW all the combinations. I mean yeah the ones that we each use alot we might remember, but certainly not all of them, or even most of them, and I think it's a little ridiculous to have them as challenge questions... just In my opinion.. Anybody else feel this way?

Answer 1

I'm ok with this. But I understand it may be confusing for beginners. However, HTML course covers this question in "HTML basics" section. So you better be ready for such challenges 😉

Answer 2

follow this link given below. you will get a fair idea.

You could practice random codes here till you get the hang of the RGB values, if you want.

Answer 4

#494949 is grey color. When red, green, blue is of same value, it is grey color. #777777, #808080, #A9A9A9 are just different shades of grey color.

#0FAIL0. If I remember correctly (didn't participate in html challenge for quite a while), the question is on valid hex code where the incorrect hex code is consists of 7 value.

Both is quite valid question in my opinion.

However, if the question ask which hex code is cyan color. That is too much/difficult for me as well.

Answer 5

me to

Answer 6

I'm ok with certain ones, like the basics of it.. all zeros = black, all f's =white or even making sure you know the order, red = 255, 255, 0, 0, 0, 0. green = 0, 0, 255, 255,0,0 etc. but some i had were #494949, and #0FACE0... those are ridiculous in my opinion.

Answer 7

I sure do .. but im sure there's a method to learning & memorizing them

Answer 8

For hex color values, split the value into 3. Taking #0FACE0 as an example, you can figure out the dominant color if you split the hex value into groups of 2. r: 0F, g: AC, b: E0. As you can see, b contains the largest hex value, therefore the answer to the challenge question should be blue

Answer 9

I know right! It doesn't make sense at all!!

Answer 11

I don't know who's going to memorize 16, 777, 216 colors. 😂

Answer 12

It's like mixing paint, but on a TV screen with rgb: 00 is a pixel with zero intensity : black, and FF is the full intensity but all 3 colors must be full to get white. Tips: to get yellow #FFFF00, purple is #FF00FF. To darken a tone evenly reduce the values proportionally, or bring them closer to each other for less saturation (medium gray #888888). Once you're comfortable with this, add the alpha, then switch to HSB you will be well rewarded

Answer 13

Also keep in mind that hex digits are in base 16 (0-F)

Answer 14

@SC Lee, i think i ran into one that i actually had to I know #0fail0, i may be mistaken but yes the other question where i need to verify if its a legit one or not is definitely a valid/great question but having to know exact color is just too much

edit: meant to say #0face0 not #0fail0
