An Experiment
Continuing from page 1. From the Hogwarts Tower of Time.
I said light colors apply to computer screens. That means you can try something using it, but first you need to know a few things:
- Colors on your computer screen are determined by the amount of red, green, and blue. You will know this as the RGB quantity if you have ever made computer graphics (doodling on your computer's Paint program when you're bored counts). If you have your own website, you might know this as a "hex code."
- The hex code is two digit numbers of red, green, and blue. It is six characters all together (#RRGGBB).
- People who invented the hex code needed more digits than the standard ten (either that or they just couldn't count). Counting from the smallest to largest one-digit numbers/letters used in a hex code:
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, b, c, d, e, f
- Red, in hex code, is FF0000. Blue is 0000FF. Green is 00FF00.
Now, since Red + Green = Yellow, FFFF00 is yellow.
FF would be 100% of a color while 00 would be 0%
000000 is the absence of light: black.
FFFFFF is 100% of each of the primary colors. That is white.
Now have fun with this thing I got from the script farm:
