Hex Code

Did you know you can choose from millions of colors when you design your website?

A hex code is a six-character code that identifies colors on the web. The six characters are divided into three pairs that represent a color’s red, green and blue values.

FF is the lightest end of the spectrum, while 00 is the darkest end of the spectrum.

For example:

• #FFFFFF is the hex code for white
• #000000 is the hex code for black
• #FF0000 is the hex code for red
• #00FF00 is the hex code for green
• #0000FF is the hex code for blue

If you add it all up, that means there are over 16 million colors you can make using just six characters!
