Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hex color code?

A hex color code is a 6-digit hexadecimal number that represents colors in digital design. It starts with # followed by 6 characters (0-9, A-F) representing red, green, and blue values.

How do I use hex colors in CSS?

Use hex colors in CSS by setting color properties like 'color: #FF5733;' or 'background-color: #3498DB;'. Hex codes are the most common way to specify colors in web development.

How do I choose good color combinations?

Use color theory principles like complementary (opposite colors), triadic (three evenly spaced colors), or analogous (adjacent colors) combinations for harmonious designs.
