Following is a sampling of HTML color codes used in HTML tags for setting background and font color. Colors are coded as red, green and blue intensities in hexadecimal notation (see
hex chart).
The first two characters represent the values 0 through 255 for red in hex; the middle two for green and the last two for blue (RRGGBB). For example, FF is equal to 255. Therefore, the purest white obtainable is the highest intensity of red, green and blue, which is FFFFFF (red=255, green=255 and blue=255). Black is the lack of all RGB (0000000).
