    Example Colors


    I've provided some colors below that are used around the site. These are only examples, you can use any Hex color though.

    555555
    00cc00
    cccc00
    cc2222
    2299ff
    ff6600

    How do they work?

    Each code is made up of 3 main parts. Red, Green, and Blue.

    rrggbb
    123456


    Each part represents a number from 0 to 255. The higher the number, the more of this color that is displayed. 0 = no color; 255 = full color. To fit these numbers into a 2-digit code, the counting system is changed a bit. Instead of 0 through 9, it is 0-9 and then a-f. a-f represents 10-15. So...

    00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f
    10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f
    20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 2a 2b 2c 2d 2e 2f
    30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 3a 3b 3c 3d 3e 3f
    40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 4a 4b 4c 4d 4e 4f
    50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 5a 5b 5c 5d 5e 5f
    60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 6a 6b 6c 6d 6e 6f
    70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 7a 7b 7c 7d 7e 7f
    80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 8a 8b 8c 8d 8e 8f
    90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 9a 9b 9c 9d 9e 9f
    a0 a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6 a7 a8 a9 aa ab ac ad ae af
    b0 b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 b6 b7 b8 b9 ba bb bc bd be bf
    c0 c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 c6 c7 c8 c9 ca cb cc cd ce cf
    d0 d1 d2 d3 d4 d5 d6 d7 d8 d9 da db dc dd de df
    e0 e1 e2 e3 e4 e5 e6 e7 e8 e9 ea eb ec ed ee ef
    f0 f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 f7 f8 f9 fa fb fc fd fe ff


    Using that chart, you can create 256 shades of red, green, and blue. Combine that together, and you can make 16,777,216 different colors. To do this, take the shade of red, green, and blue you want and combine the codes (2-digit) into a single code (6-digit). The order should be red, green, then blue. For example...

    Red:   256 ff
    Green: 102 66
    Blue: 0 00
    Final: ff6600

    When you're in jail, a good friend will be trying to bail you out. A best friend will be in the cell next to you saying, "Damn, that was fun."
