26,671 Pointsnobody knows those things by heart lol. Great developers just remember some of them because they work with them alot. use tools like adobe's kuler (google it) to find hexadecimal values or in any other format u want. Over time you'll remember a few.
same with CSS, HTML, and any programming language, dont be discouraged if you have to use documentation everyone does it, or at least I do all the time.
