Information on Color Codes

Summary: Color codes are used in HTML programming to specify the colors in the RGB range. By using red, green and blue in different combinations you make any of 16 million colors. Each color light pixel on your computer has an RGB value, total zero (#000000) is black, and fully on (#FFFFFF) is white. Education: Most artists and painters learn color theory as one of their first lessons and they create the color wheel. The basic colors of the rainbow is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet or ROYGBIV. A rainbow contains all the colors, caused by white light being refracted by water or moisture in the air. HTML Code: The hex color code is in RGB format the first two are red, next two are green, and last two are blue. Only a few color names can be used directly in place of the hexadecimal color code they are: aqua, black, blue, fuschia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple, red, silver, teal, white and yellow.
