HTML Color Values



Colors are displayed combining RED, GREEN, and BLUE light sources.

Color Values

HTML colors are defined using a hexadecimal notation for the combination of Red, Green, and Blue color values (RGB). The lowest value that can be given to one of the light sources is 0 (hex
#00). The highest value is 255 (hex #FF).


Turn Off the Red

If you turn off the Red light completely, there are 65536 different
combination of Green and Blue (256 x 256) to experiment with.

Turn On the Red

By setting the Red parameter to its maximum value, there are still 65536 different
combination of Green and Blue (256 x 256) to experiment with.

16 Million Different Colors

The combination of Red, Green and Blue values from 0 to 255 gives a total of
more than 16 million different colors to play with (256 x 256 x 256).

Most modern monitors are capable of displaying at least 16384 different
colors.

If you look at the color table below, you will see the result of varying
the red light from 0 to 255, while keeping the green and blue light at zero.

0 to 255, click on one of the hexadecimal or rgb values below.
