CSS Colur description

broberg

It’s not special in any way, it’s just css and it can take whatever the css standard does.
So yes, it will take all the different options I wrote in my answer.

The three digit HEX (#FFF) is just a shorter (and less exact) version of the six digit HEX, like this

#FFF is the same as #FFFFFF
#330 is the same as #333300

But you can’t get exact colors, you can only get a rough version of the colors, the 3 digit HEX is limited in that regard.

here is a list over the different values you can use in any option with colors in css : https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colors_legal.asp

@broberg
Thanks a lot for your help

@Vauxdvihl find a hex to decimal converter

8b is 139

@Vauxdvihl just use that hex code, I don’t see why you would bother trying to use a three digit hex when you can’t get that color with just the three digit hex.

Slap a # on it and be done. (#8B4513)

And the closest three digit code is easily done by removing the second character in the pair.

So
8B would be 8
45 would be 4
13 would be 1

But this will result in #884411 instead of #8B4513.
