Скачать или смотреть About Hex Codes - 6-Digit vs. 8-Digit

Have you ever wondered how colors are coded in websites? Well, welcome to Hex Codes. Hex or hexadecimal codes
translates binary, which is the language of computers into a format we can easily understand and use.

Standard hex codes have six digits for color intensity, two for red, two for green, and two for blue.

00 is none and FF is fall intensity. So let's take a look at the color panel in Illustrator to show you exactly what I'm talking about. If we move just the red slider, watch the first two digits as we move it. The first two digits are for the red. The second two digits are the only two that will move if we manipulate the green.

And the same with the third two digits. They will be I'm sorry, not the same, but blue would be used for the third two digits. So if we come down here and pick this code right here, this color right here, this is the code that indicates that particular color. This is the rugby setting for that. But if we take this code and plug that into the HTML of a website, we'll be able to change the color of whatever.

We're plugging that into a cell, a font, whatever the object might be.

need transparency. There's an eight-digit code available that adds two more digits for the Alpha Channel controlling how C through a color actually is.

So unfortunately, we don't have that ability in Illustrator, but in Google Slides for some reason, they've added that functionality. So let's take a look. If we select this object, I just made a box, a simple box, and to add a color to it, let's just add a color and you can see it overlaps the text just like that.

But if we change that color, you'll notice if we come in here, there is a hex code right here. There are eight digits. Okay? If we come over here and choose a code color just like that right there, and then adjust the Alpha channel, watch the last two digits. Okay, So if we go to FFR, it's full saturation of the Alpha channel.

Drop it all the way down to zero zero and it doesn't exist. It's completely transparent. So if we go to the middle 74 or whatever, seven A or whatever, that happens to be right there, 77 for the Alpha channel, click okay. And it shows up as a transparent shape.

So there you go. That's an explanation of what a hex code is and an example of the difference is between the eight digit and the six digit hex codes.

Take care, everybody. See you in the next video.
