Courses Plus Student 2,335 Pointsthe color codes are confusing me. is there a chart or reference for this?
The color codes for CSS are giving me a headache. There must be a chart for this that I missed along the way. Thanks in advance for the help.

But there are plenty of web references. If you just want to see the 140 colors that have names, here's a reference for that. Or if you're confused by the hex color values, this reference may help.
You favorite search engine will give you many more references for color if these don't quite cover it for you.

So for example pure red is: #ff0000 => ff for red which is 255, 00 for green and blue.
