COLOUR TASTER
Find the right colour and its hexadecimal code
Enter a two-digit Hex number into each box - red, green and blue -
and click "Display".
(Use only the numbers 0-9 and letters A-F.
Taking the Hex off Colours:
All colours are a mixture of the three
primaries -
Red Green &
Blue
The particular mix gives the final shade.====
In HTML the amount of each is coded in
hexadecimal.
00 means none of that colour;
FF means full saturation.
Hence
FF0000 gives pure red (full red, no green, no blue).
40 is a quarter of full, 80 half and C0 three quarters (approx).====
Hex uses the numbers 0 to 9 and the
letters A to F.
The system has the base 16. So #10 means decimal 16.
#A to #F represent 10 to 15. #FF (the maximum here) is 255.
Possible combinations of red, green and blue exceed 16 million.====
The Complementary of a given colour is the colour that when
combined with that colour gives White. The colour code of a
complementary when added to the original colour code gives #FFFFFF.
Thus the complementary of
Red (#FF0000) is
Cyan (#00FFFF).
since #FF0000 + #00FFFF = #FFFFFF (
White).
