| The 6 digits used for background color and any other color specification are hexadecimal code. The best way to find out the hexadecimal code for the color you want is to choose a color and then find it's hexadecimal code. The two most obvious backgrounds are white (#ffffff) and black (#000000). To find the code for other colors, try Lynda's Color Page (NOTE: Lynda's Color Page takes a long time to download) or go to the RGB Hex Triplet Color Chart. If you would like to work from a color wheel, try Colorpro. | |||
