Overview Hex Colors Safe Colors

Overview

    Color codes can be done a number of ways.  One way is with hexcodes, and another is with safe names.
    Safe names are defined by the W3 organization and browsers can recognize them and produce the color desired.
    These are referred to as SVG colors

Hex Colors

The W3 School defines hex colors this way:
Colors are defined using a hexadecimal notation for the combination of Red, Green, and Blue color values (RGB). The lowest value that can be given to one light source is 0 (hex #00). The highest value is 255 (hex #FF).
Some more basic colors are shown below in their hex codes
