Introduction

A Web page is much better in color!  If you read the other tutorial on Web pages codes, you learnt how to include color into different Web pages elements.  It's with the hexadecimal color code, formed by 6 characters, each going from 0 to F (0 to 9, then A to F) and making theorically 16,777,216 different colors.  This tutorial will teach you how is formed a color code and how to make colors that you desire.
 

The Color Code Structure

The color code is divided into 3 sections, each formed by 2 characters: red, green, blue.  The meaning of each characters looks like that:
 

#	X	X	X	X	X	X
	R	R	G	G	B	B

It's also very simple to get the 3 prime colors by giving the FF value to the section of the desired color, then by giving the 00 value to other colors.  Also we can easily make black (no colors) and white (sum of all colors).
 

#FF0000	Red
#00FF00	Green
#0000FF	Blue
#000000	Black
#FFFFFF	White

Then, it's possible to blend colors to make other colors.  Here is some simple blends:
 

#FFFF00	Yellow
#FF9900	Orange
#FFCCFF	Pink
#999999	Gray
#33CCFF	Light blue

There is lots of other color possibilities, you just have to refer to the following color table or to make yourself your own blends.
