CSS Colors
CSS uses color values to specify a color. Typically, these are used to set a color either for the foreground of an element(i.e., its text) or else for the background of the element. They can also be used to affect the color of borders and other decorative effects.
You can specify your color values in various formats. Following table tells you all possible formats:
Format

Example
Hex Code
#RRGGBB
p{color:#FF0000;}

CSS Colors - Hex Codes:
A hexadecimal is a 6 digit representation of a color. The first two digits(RR) represent a red value, the next two are a green value(GG), and the last are the blue value(BB).
A hexadecimal value can be taken from any graphics software like Adobe Photoshop, JascPaintshop Pro or even using Advanced Paint Brush.
Each hexadecimal code will be preceded by a pound or hash sign #. Following are the examples to use Hexadecimal notation.
