COLOR VALUES
This assignment requires you to use RGB color values to control the color
of font, horizontal rules, background, and text. RGB stands for
Red-Green-Blue. You can look at the code on this page for examples of how
this is done. [MAJOR NOTE: Click here for some HR
pointers]
White=ffffff black=000000 red=ff0000
green=?????? blue=?????? yellow=??????
orange=?????? pink=?????? purple=??????
cyan=?????? magenta=?????? rose=??????
Part of your assignment is to fill in the correct values for the above
color names. You can do this in a couple ways. One way is to experiment
by typing in the color values for horizontal rules in the code portion of
a page and then take a look with the browser to see what color you get. The
other way is to click here to use a page specially designed to
help you determine the hexadecimal values associated with different colors.
Getting back to the assignment:
You will have a title (something to do with color on web pages), the table
from above (with correct values filled in), and twelve horizontal rules
corresponding to each of the colors in the table. {NOTE: If your browser
doesn't support colored HRs just set the font color and substitute a row of
X's or something for each HR. To do this just type < font color=ffff00 >
} Set your background color
to a shade of gray so that all the HRs will show. The bgcolor, text color,
HR colors, and the color for your title must all be set using hexadecimal
values. If you aren't sure what this means just look at the code for this
page and you will see examples of all these. (The background must be set, not
left at default value... default means what it is without setting it.)
Hexadecimal Numbers: The common bases which people use are base 10 (decimal),
base 2 (binary), base eight (octal), and base sixteen (hexadecimal). Here is
a table with some selected values:
Decimal............Binary.............Octal..............Hexadecimal....
1 1 1 1
5 101 5 5
10 1010 12 A
14 1110 16 E
20 10100 24 14
33 100001 41 21
You may or may not see what's going on with hexadecimal numbers from this
table. But, for now, just remember that hexadecimals are composed of the
following characters: 0-9 and A-F.
