The following chart identifies common colors which can be
specified in either of two ways; by their Name (e.g., THISTLE),
and also as a Hexadecimal Value (e.g., "#FF90A4") note the use of
the '#' sign with the Hex value. This is useful if you want to
specify color for your fonts, background, etc. The Hexadecimal
value is a 'triplet' of two values in the following order:
rrggbb. Each 'third' of the Hex value defines the
intensity level for one of three primary colors: red (rr), green
(gg), and blue (bb). Like the decimal system, the hexadecimal
system uses symbols to represent value at each position. In the
decimal system, we use the symbols 0 through 9 to represent ten
different values in each position (e.g., units position, tens
position, hundreds position, etc. So a value of 41(decimal) =
four tens plus one units).
The hexadecimal system, however, uses sixteen symbols to
represent values at each position. And just like in the decimal
system the symbols 0 through 9 are used. But additional symbols
'A'(10) through 'F'(15) are included. This means that in the
hexadecimal numbering system you can represent sixteen values in
each position. The low-order (right-most) position being the
'units' (0-F Hex (0-15 decimal)), the high-order (left-most)
position being 'sixteens' (0-F Hex (0-240 decimal)). So again, a
value of 41(hexadecimal) = four sixteens plus one unit (65
decimal).
So for the rrggbb triplet, the rr
represents a 2-digit hexadecimal value, with '00' Hex meaning
'off' and 'FF' Hex meaning 'maximum intensity'. Intermediate
values are used to adjust the red intensity from 0-255 (decimal).
It's the combined intensities of the red, green and blue triplet
produces the wide range of colors we can obtain.
