CSS Colur description

@Vauxdvihl …

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

@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.
