How Do HEX Color Codes Work? (in 60 seconds) 

ikr

@karoliinaiines That's actually a linguistic phenomenon that surprisingly shows up in languages like English.

No "Please subscribe" and any other stupіd shіt mentioned in this video. Love it

#E8Hello

Atleast it's only 60 seconds

I had to watch it 60 times to understand

^000FFF

Lol it was quite easy for me

Watched it 3 times. Still dont understand it...

wth are you studying?? you probably cracked cold fusion and said "yeah this is kindergarten math"

pause the video my guy

(e) 14 * 10^0 + 5 * 16^1 = Green 8 * 10^0 + 6 * 16^1 = Blue

just repeat the same process for every two digits.

RGB is an additive process, meaning all the colors add to make white. Paint is subtractive, which means they would add up to create black. So I assume it wouldn't work. Also, hex codes are simply a way to tell pixels what to do so it may not be all that useful with paint even if it was possible.

Ignore the exponent and placement. Think of them all as two-digit numbers. In decimal we have 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9, and to go higher we start over to 0, and put a 1 next to it, to get 10. Hexadecimal does the same thing, but adds A-F, so the letter "F" = 15, and in hexadecimal "10" = 16, and "FF" = 255. It's just like counting, but with more number symbols. The reason we use this system of 0-255, instead of 0-100 or something, is because modern computer standards break up binary (1s and 0s) into sets of 8 bits, so 00000000 is 0, and 11111111 is 255. To represent 1 "byte", computer programmers often use two sets of hexadecimals, because 00 to FF represents all possibilities in 8 bit numbers.

I have the same question

When working with numbers, it's more efficient to go backwards, as we use "arabic numerals" which were introduced by indians. Arabs read from right to left, so their way of seeing numbers is more efficient. In # AB CD EF A has the position 5 (start counting from 0), F has the position 0. The reason why E is 16^0 is because it's the first number in the red group. 255 (dec) = (2 * 10^2) + (5 * 10^1) + (5 * 10^0) EF (Hex) = (E * 16^1) + (F * 16^0), where E is a constant for 14 F is a constant for 15.

@@valizeth4073 But in the case of hex codes, since each pair of numbers specifies either R, G, or B, wouldn't the positions be # 101010 instead of # 54321 ?

@@parkergreene4053 I also have the same question.

F is the biggest digit in hex, like 9 is the biggest digit in our numbering system. So the biggest 2-digit number in hex must be FF. That in our numbering system (decimal or denary) is 255, so there are 256 options. It's just the way the cookie crumbles, I guess :^)

The reason we use this system of 0-255, instead of 0-100 or something, is because modern computer standards break up binary (1s and 0s) into sets of 8 bits, so 00000000 is 0, and 11111111 is 255. To represent 1 "byte", computer programmers often use two sets of hexadecimals, because 00 to FF represents all possibilities in 8 bit numbers. If we wanted the scale to be 0-100, we would need to use 7-bit numbers which can go up to 127. But now you're wasting 27 possibly values for no good reason. And before you ask, why do we use 8-bit numbers instead of 7-bit? Because 8 is a power of two, which makes it easier for computers to work with.

haven't you ever heard of an American?!

...You do realize 1 minute is the same as 60 seconds, right?

Don't worry! I found out the other day that in Africa, a minute passes every single minute!! So as long as you're in Africa, you're fine!

i'm the first jojo reference on this vid

thats exactly what is used 255 is represented as 11111111 in binary (what a computer uses) hex lets us group 4 binary letters into 1 hex letter to make it easier for us to understand and usee. 1111 is 15 or F so 255 is represented as FF (2 sets of 1s 4 time each)
