The amount (saturation) of each of the three colors
is a hexadecimal (base 16) number between
00 (zero) and ff (one f=16, so ff=16*16=256). I like
to think
of ff as “full” -- the maximum amount of
that color possible.
So...what color would ff0000 give us? What about
00ff00? And ffffff?
And, mathematically, how many web colors should
be possible?
