Foreground Colors in CSS

 

there are many ways of representing colors in css and basically in writing code but one of the more traditional models is the RGB model.

  • Every single color can be represented by any combination of red, green and blue colors.
  • in order to actually represent a certain color we need to give each of the three base colors any value between zero and 255.
  • This way, we can define a total of 16.8 million different colors.
  • in white we have all the three colors at the maximum of 255.
  • When we have all the colors at zero we get a complete black color.

 

 

 

Notations

We have two ways of writing colors using the RGB model and those are the 

  • RGB notation 
    • Use this RGB function in CSS.  Simply specify the values for each of the three color channels, red, green, and blue.
  • RGB with transparency, and transparency is also called alpha.
    • That's why this function is called RGBA.

 

 

  • Hexadecimal notation.
    • Use a scale from zero to ff and ff is basically the same as 255 but in a hexadecimal scale.
    • Shothand Notation
      • when all the colors are identical pairs.
    •  

 

 

Shades of Grey Color

  • When the three colors in the three channels are exactly the same what we get is a grey color.
  • There are exactly 256 pure grays to choose from.
