intensity of the color with a value between 0 and 255.

red is set to its highest value (255), and the other two
(green and blue) are set to 0.

• Another example, rgb(0, 255, 0) is displayed as green,


because green is set to its highest value (255), and the
other two (red and blue) are set to 0.

• To display black, set all color parameters to 0, like this:


rgb(0, 0, 0).

• To display white, set all color parameters to 255, like this:

its highest value (ff), and the other two (green and blue) are set
to 00.

• Another example, #00ff00 is displayed as green, because green


is set to its highest value (ff), and the other two (red and blue)
are set to 00.

• To display black, set all color parameters to 00, like this:


#000000.
