Each color value is composed of 3 values of two Hexadecimal digits representing the
amount of red-green-blue (="RGB color") triplet variable="#rrggbb".
For example, examine the the setting BGCOLOR="#80FF00".
This #80FF00 color is combination of red=80 green=FF blue=00.
Each number is is represented in Hexadecimal (base 16) as opposed to the common decimal(base 10).
Decimal numbers have 10 digits - 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. Hexadecimal numbers have 16 digits - 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F.Each color value has a range of 0-255 (00-FF HEX) Here is an example of converting the decimal number 211 to Hexadecimal. (211/16)= 13, remainder 3. In hexadecimal 13 is represented with the digit "D", which will be the leftmost digit. After subtracting (13*16) from the 211 the remainder is 3 (the units place), thus the hexadecimal number is "D3". | |

Tricks & Tips:
Certain color values cause strange results with some browsers.
An example would be in setting the Text color to white text="#FFFFFF".
Rather than the white text you would expect using a well-behaved browser, you rarely get a white filled
rectangle. In general, reducing one of the color values by one fixes such problems,
i.e., change text="#FFFFFF" to text="#FFFFFE" may do the trick.
This is a nasty departure from Web-safe colors.
Still not for sure about this 'hexadecimal' RGB triplet stuff? O.K., here's

Selective Font Colors
<FONT COLOR=color>...</FONT>
|
| Font color defined in the <FONT COLOR="color">...</FONT>tag is only effective on text inside of <FONT COLOR=color>...</FONT>tag. You can also use red, green and blue (="RGB color") combination in hexadecimal to assign a color. |
