What Are Color Hex Codes?

Color hex codes (hexadecimal color codes) are a way of specifying colors using hexadecimal values. They're the standard color system used in web design and development to define precise colors in HTML and CSS.

A color hex code starts with a hash symbol (#) followed by six characters. These characters represent:

The first two digits represent red (00-FF)
The middle two digits represent green (00-FF)
The last two digits represent blue (00-FF)

For example, #FF0000 represents pure red,#00FF00 is pure green, and#0000FF is pure blue.

•
Modern browsers support 8-digit hex codes where the last two digits represent opacity (e.g., #4A90E280 for semi-transparent blue)
•
Create a consistent color palette by using variations of the same hex code, adjusting only one or two digits at a time
