Find a HEX Colour Code
If you are looking for a colour but don't know how to describe it, use a hex (hexadecimal) code. The following charts list some of the more popular colours used in web and graphic design. Hex codes are much shorter versions of the binary reprisentation of RGB (red, green, blue) combinations.
For example the colour black would be written as 256,256,256 in RGB but would be written as 100000000,100000000,100000000 in binary. I think you'll agree this is a silly number. As a hex code this is written as #100100100, much easier to work with.
If you are interested in how RGB colours are translated in digital terms as binary or hex numbers watch the videos below.
