Specifying Color Names and Color

Codes

There are two ways to specify colors:

• Use a color value, a six-digit hexadecimal number known as the red-green-

blue (RGB) triplet. The RGB triplet always begins with a hash mark (#)

followed by 3 2-digit codes that represent the amount of red, green, and

blue that make up the color (#rrggbb). There are over 16 million RGB color

codes.

• Use a color name. There are sixteen standard case-insensitive color names.

Table 7.4 lists the sixteen standard color names and their equivalent RGB

values
