hex is a programing language / numerical base-system of 16 digits ...
like the traditional system is a base 10, where at 9, u go to a new column, add a 1, then flip back to the ones column and go up to nine, then flip over the 2nd column 1 to a 2 ... etc.
binary is a 2 digit system of 1s and 0s ...
1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, 1000, 1001, 1010, 1011, 1100, 1101, 1111, etc... (that is respectively the numbers 1 - 14 in 'normal numbers') ...

the ancient babylonians had a base 6 system, which then lead into the 360 degree circle having 6 seperate sectors split into 60 degrees ... which then led into our concept of time being 60 mins/60 second, etc.

hexidecimal, the base 16 system ... goes 0-9, a-f
where the letter F represents 15 ... it is commonly known in colour pallettes in illustrator programs (like paintshop pro, or adobe, etc) ..
they are also considered 'HTML codes' for colours ...
FFFFFF is white ... 000000 is black ...
the first 2 colours define the Red, second 2 green, third 2 blue.
so FF0000 is pure red, 00FF00 is pure green, 0000FF is pure blue ...
mix any set of the numbers 0-9 A-F in those 6 slots and get the colour mix of ur choice ... (the higher the number in the red, blue, or green slot the more that colour stands out) ...

hope that helps

Essentially, the hexa-majiggy is HTML code for Colors, without the "#"

Getus... I just wanted to say, that it is very easy on these pages, as you just click onto the required colour (and there are sooooo many of them) and get the code there...

Your explanation was good... of course

Here you can find the hex-codes for all colours, if you use it for the showcase leave away the #:

Awesome! I always wondered where time got its divisions and why it was never base 10 like most measurements.

You never know where you will find a nice little tidbit of information. (I like to collect those by the way).

i love little things of information, theyre so esoteric ... (and if u dont kno the meaning of that word, i suggest looking it up ... youll absolutely love it.)

esoteric is the latin spell of the greek word "ΕΣΩΤΕΡΙΚΟ" (esoteriko) which means internal

also "ΕΞΩΤΕΡΙΚΟ" (exoteriko) means external and many other language use the "ex" part to define new words like EXchange EXternal etc.
