HTML RGB Color Codes

Below are some of the hexidecimal color codes you'd use if you were setting a background, font or border colors in either HTML or CSS. These hexadecimal codes are based on the RGB color system, the first two of the six values indicate the level of red, the next two of green and the last two of blue. When you use a code you need to start with the pound sign. If you use a color name instead, you don't use the pound sign.

Certain colors are considered "web safe" because they display the same across different browsers or platforms. However, with today's wide range of very color friendly monitors, most designers do not worry about limiting themselves to the original "safe" colors.

Here are some examples of how to use colors:
