Understanding Hex / Color Values
Hex values are used for generating colors other than the standard reds, blues, greens, yellows, purples, etc. As you learned above, to specify a purple font you just use the tag <font color="purple">.
But HTML doesn't understand colors like "sky blue" or "pea green" so if you want these kinds of colors, you need to specify a hex color value.
The hex color code chart below will give you the HTML code you need for your desired colors...
1. Drag the bar on the "Hue" selector to generate the desired base color.
2. Next double click inside the Brightness/Saturation grid to activate the cursor. Drag it until the desired brightness is achieved.
The "Swatch" bar shows you the final color result.
3. The Hex Color Code is generated at the bottom of the grid. Simply copy and paste the code into your page.
