A HEX color code starts with # followed by six hexadecimal characters (0–9, A–F). The first two characters represent the red channel, the next two green, and the last two blue. For example, #FF0000 is pure red, #00FF00 is pure green, and #0000FF is pure blue. HEX codes are the most common color format in CSS, HTML, Figma, Sketch, and most design tools.
