Color hex code?

[jmca62]

I am working on something and I have been told I can use colors I create if I have the hex code.  I have no idea what that is.  Can anyone help me with that and does that even sound right?

The term "hex" is short for hexadecimal; i.e. base sixteen. RGB colours, especially for web documents, are often expressed as six-digit hexadecimal numbers. There are many sites such as color-hex and ColorPicker.com where you can find the colour codes that you need.

Once you have the hex code you want, in the Affinity Color panel you can choose "RGB Hex" as a sliders option & enter the hex value there, either as three, two digit hex code numbers for the R, G, & B components, or as a combined six digit RGB value in the text box below the sliders.

 

Normally, you would use the six-digit hexadecimal number, but for finer color variations you can choose a 16 bit representation from the panel's options, requiring a 12-digit hex number (four hex digits for each of the three color components). Typically, you would use that only with 16 bit color documents.
