If you have done any kind of creative project, you have most likely run into hex colors. Whenever you’re adding color for display, a hex color is usually needed. We’ve outlined everything you need to know about hex colors and more, so you can be an expert in applying color.


What is a hex color?


A hex color is used online to help you select colors. It’s an actual code that represents a color’s red, green, and blue components, which tells your computer how to create the color you desire. A hex color is only 6 characters and has a format like this: #000000.

To keep things simple, this is as far into the technical side of hex colors that we’ll get into. However, if you’re interested in learning more about how a computer uses hex colors, Code Conquest takes a deep dive into this process. Here’s an example of some hex colors:

How do I use hex colors?


Hex colors are applicable to many of the activities that you do online. If you’re designing a website, email, or graphic, you’ll probably use hex colors.
