COLOUR SCHEME ( R G B)

---

Colors are displayed combining RED, GREEN, and BLUE light.

---

Color Values

HTML colors are defined using a hexadecimal notation (HEX) for the combination of Red, Green, and Blue

color values (RGB).

The lowest value that can be given to one of the light sources is 0 (in HEX:

00). The highest value is 255 (in HEX: FF).

HEX values are specified as 3 pairs of two-digit numbers, starting with a # sign.

Color Values

Color	Color HEX	Color RGB
	#000000	rgb(0,0,0)
	#FF0000	rgb(255,0,0)
	#00FF00	rgb(0,255,0)
	#0000FF	rgb(0,0,255)
	#FFFF00	rgb(255,255,0)
	#00FFFF	rgb(0,255,255)
	#FF00FF	rgb(255,0,255)
	#C0C0C0	rgb(192,192,192)
	#FFFFFF	rgb(255,255,255)

16 Million Different Colors

The combination of Red, Green, and Blue values from 0 to 255, gives

more than 16 million different colors (256 x 256 x 256).

If you look at the color table below, you will see the result of varying

the red light from 0 to 255, while keeping the green and blue light at zero.

To see the full list of color mixes when RED varies from

0 to 255, click on one of the HEX or RGB values below.

Shades of Gray

Gray colors are created by using an equal amount of power to all of the light

sources.

Web Safe Colors?

Some years ago, when computers supported max 256 different colors, a list of

216 "Web Safe Colors" was suggested as a Web standard, reserving 40 fixed system

colors.

The 216 cross-browser color palette was created to ensure that all computers

would display the colors correctly when running a 256 color palette.

This is not important today, since most computers can display millions of different colors.

Anyway, here is the list:

000000	000033	000066	000099	0000CC	0000FF
