A hex triplet is a six-digit (or eight-digit), three-byte (or four-byte) hexadecimal number used in HTML, CSS, SVG, and other computing applications to represent colors. The bytes represent the red, green, and blue components of the color.
In computer graphics, pixels encoding the RGBA color space information must be stored in computer memory (or in files on disk). In most cases four equal-sized pieces of adjacent memory are used, one for each channel, and a 0 in a channel indicates black color or transparent alpha, while all-1 bits indicates white or fully opaque alpha.
With the predominance of 24-bit displays, the use of the full 16.7 million colors of the HTML RGB color code no longer poses problems for most viewers. The sRGB color space (a device-independent color space [ 23 ] ) for HTML was formally adopted as an Internet standard in HTML 3.2, [ 24 ] [ 25 ] though it had been in use for some time before that.
A screenshot of the GTK+ 2 color picker. A screenshot of the Qt color picker. GIMP color picker.. A color picker (also color chooser or color tool) is a graphical user interface widget, usually found within graphics software or online, used to select colors and, in some cases, to create color schemes (the color picker might be more sophisticated than the palette included with the program).
For each unique palette, an image color test chart and sample image (truecolor original follows) rendered with that palette (without dithering) are given. The test chart shows the full 256 levels of the red, green, and blue (RGB) primary colors and cyan, magenta, and yellow complementary colors, along with a full 256-level grayscale.
However, if using tools supporting obsolete implementations of HTML, the reference € (Euro sign in the CP-1252 code page) or ¤ (Euro sign in ISO/IEC 8859-15) may work. As another example, if some text was created originally using the MacRoman character set, the left double quotation mark “ will be represented with code point xD2.
An equivalent, simpler change is to allow negative numbers in color channels, so that the represented colors can extend out of the color triangle formed by the primaries. However these only extend the colors that can be represented in the image encoding; neither trick extends the gamut of colors that can actually be rendered on a display device.
What appears as cerulean ( ) in the top image is actually a blend of cyan, magenta, yellow and black, as magnification under a microscope demonstrates. The CMYK color model (also known as process color , or four color ) is a subtractive color model , based on the CMY color model , used in color printing , and is also used to describe the ...
