RGB Color Values - HTML CSS CSS

HTML CSS examples for CSS:Color

Introduction

You can use RGB (red-green-blue) color model to define color values in CSS.

Hexadecimal Notation

The RGB value in hexadecimal notation is specified with a '#' character followed by either three or six hexadecimal characters (0-9, a-f).

When six-digit notation (#rrggbb) is used,

rr represents the red value
gg represents the green value
bb represents the blue value.

The three-digit hexadecimal notation (#rgb) can be converted into six-digit form (#rrggbb) by replicating digits.

For example, #03f can be expanded to #0033ff, but both values represent the same color.
