I'm pretty sure this is something I'm supposed to know but I don't know it

Question

Pls how does the hexadecimal color system work
I keep seeing things like 6600FF
And I don't know which color it is pls is there a way to know all the colors

Answer 1

each two digits represent one color.

# 00 00 00
red green blue

it goes from 0 to 9, than instead of 10, we have A. instead of 11, we have B. so the complete range of each single value in hexadecilmal is 0,1,2,3 4,5 6 7 8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F.

as hex colors use two digits for each colour, the minimum is 00(black), and the maximum FF(white).

#000000 <~ no values for red green and blue, results black

#FF0000 <~ maximum value of red, no green and no blue, red color

#0000FF <~ maximum value of blue, no red and no green. blue color

#FFFF00 <~ all red, all green and no blue. Results in yellow color.

This is the logic, but it's too hard to guess all shades you want just by yourself. So what you can do is try to guess and memorize simple shades.

As it's too hard to memorize all the colors you need and would waste your time too, that's why we have color pickers, as the one i created here:
