Tutorial Blog post for Web #1

The techniques that I am going to be sharing with you all are color-code names, hexadecimal numbers, rgb, and rgba. These techniques I have been using in Adobe Dreamweaver, it's an easier way of looking at web colors.

1. Color Code Names.
     A color code is distinguishing any color using a code. These codes start with a hashtag and have 6 capital letters or numbers after and it helps differentiate colors into even more specific names/codes. The first two letters or numbers represent red, the next two represent green, and the last two represent blue.
          Examples: #000000 is black, #0000FF is blue, and #00008B is darkblue.
Do you see how the last two characters in blue and darkblue are different from the rest? It's because those colors only have blue in them.

This shows the color name with their color code and then what the color looks like.

2. Hexadecimal Numbers.
     These use the numbers 0-9 and letters A-F, it is an easier way to express binary numbers in modern computers.
          Examples: #FOF8FF, #FAEBD7, and #00FFFF

You can see at the top of this image the column that shows the hex numbers. 

3. Rgb.
     Rgb is what represents the numbers/letters in the hex and depending on what number or letter they use is how much of that color is in the final color. The first two represent red, the next two represent green, and the last two represent blue.
          Examples: #RRGGBB,  (RR=red, GG=green, and BB=blue.), (255, 0, 0.)

The middle section here shows what the color would be like in rgb.

4. Rgba.
     Rgba is just like rgb but the a stands for alpha. Alpha stands for the transparency in the color.
          Examples: #RRGGBB, (RR=red, GG=green, and BB=blue.), (255, 0, 0, 0.2.)

This is similar to rgb but the last number is what changes the transparency as shown above.
