Q: can you explain your process for mentally figuring out the hex codes for colors again? i remember seeing your explanation for it once before a few years ago but have since forgotten it
A: it's R G B. the first 2 digits are red, the middle two are green, the last two are blue. And each of these 3 sections runs on a scale from 00 to FF, in hexidecimal that means 0 to 16, with 00 being the lowest and FF being the highest. So if you know how to mix RGB then you're all set. bright red is FF0000. bright green is 00FF00. pure blue is 0000FF. black is 000000. white is FFFFFF. medium grey is like 888888. bright magenta is FF00FF. etc
