2. rgb() function - Decimal notation

rgb() function accepts values for the red, green and blue. Each one has minimum value of '0' and maximum value of '255'.

Color	Name	rgb()
	Black	rgb(0,0,0)
	Red	rgb(255,0,0)
	Green	rgb(0,255,0)
	Blue	rgb(0,0,255)
	Yellow	rgb(255,255,0)
	Cyan	rgb(0,255,255)
	White	rgb(255,255,255)
	Dimgray	rgb(105,105,105)

If we set the same values for red, green and blue, it represents gray type color. For example, rgb(200,200,200).

3. #RRGGBB - Hexadecimal notation

The hexadecimal notation of the rgb value consists of '#' character, followed by some number of digits (0-9) or letters (a-f). There might be 6 or 8 digits or letters.

six digits: The three pairs of digits or letters represent red, green and blue colors. For example, #ff0000 is value for red color.
eight digits: There might be eight digits or letters instead of six digits. The fourth pair of digits or letter represents opacity of the object. For example, #ffff0000 is value for yellow color with opacity 0.
