Hexadecimal color explanation video

Hello, Lately, I've been doing a paper work for school which involves the explanation of how colors work and I have to do an explanation of how the hexadecimal color system works.

I remember that here in Treehouse, I once saw a video which explained me how this system worked, it was very visual and I did understand it very well, so I was searching through all the courses I did (mainly CSS, Photoshop, Illustrator and Design ones...) in order to find that video, but I wasn't able to find it.

Does someone know which video I am referring to? If not, do you know where I can find a very visual explanation of how the Hexadecimal system works? It happens to be that the public of my paper work (it's a presentation), is not so used to things like this, so it would be nice to explain it in an easy way.

I hope you can help me.

Thanks!

I remember it too! I dont remember the video , but you might look in illustrator basics here and go throw basics of HTML and CSS and you might find it there.

Yes, the "Color Values" video by Guil Hernandez in "CSS Basics" should have what you're looking for.

Have a nice day!

Usually this ind of stuff is in the beginning as from what i remember where they tell you all the basics fomr when you are going to move forward.
