And that's why we have color codes. For example: #ABCDEF

This is a 24-bit color code. Here, # is just the indicator. The first byte (2 hex digits), AB, is the level of red (in this case, 171 out of 255), the second byte, CD, is the level of green (205), and the last byte, EF, is the level of blue (239).
