Understanding Hex Codes

Hex codes are the unsung heroes of color theory. They're like the Swiss Army knives of color codes: compact, cryptic, and capable of unleashing a rainbow of possibilities.

But what's the deal with these six-letter codes?

Let's break it down:

• Hexadecimal is a base-16 number system (don't worry, it's not as painful as it sounds).
• Each hexadecimal digit is a two-digit number, ranging from 00 to FF.
• These digits represent the red, green, and blue color channels, respectively.
• When combined, they create the perfect storm of color.
