Simple HEX Colour Values
Here’s a quick reference for the most basic HEX colour values. These are the building blocks — once you understand how red, green, and blue channels combine in hex, you can read any colour code at a glance.
HEX colours use a #RRGGBB format where each pair represents a value from 00 (none) to FF (full) for red, green, and blue.
| Colour | HEX Code |
|---|---|
| Black | #000000 |
| Red | #FF0000 |
| Green | #00FF00 |
| Blue | #0000FF |
| Yellow | #FFFF00 |
| Cyan | #00FFFF |
| Magenta | #FF00FF |
| Silver | #C0C0C0 |
| White | #FFFFFF |
You can also use shorthand for simple values — #000 is the same as #000000, and #F00 is the same as #FF0000. Most editors and browser dev tools will show you a colour picker these days, but knowing the basic hex values by heart still comes in handy.
