:::To expand on what Vol said, the first two of the six numbers in a hex code control the red value. The third and fourth control green, and the fifth and sixth control blue. Values range from 00 (black, or no color) to FF (full color) (it goes from 0 to 9, and then uses letters. A is the next brightest after 9, then B is the next brightest, and so on, up to F). Mixing red and green (like ffff00) will yield yellow colors, mixing reds and blues (like ff00ff) will yield purples, and mixing blues and greens (like 00ffff) will yield, predictably enough, blue-greens and teals and such. Mixing equal parts of all colors makes grays of varying hue, from black (000000) to white (ffffff).
:::Also personally I like [http://www.december.com/html/spec/color.html this site]. The colors are organized nicely.

::::Nope. All I wanted to know was how to make colours on articles. And I have my answer. [[User:Bulborb63|Bulborb63]] 03:16, 10 October 2010 (EDT)
:::::From [[Help:Editing]]: ''As well as this, a fair amount of HTML is functional.  Tags such as ''<nowiki><span></nowiki>'' and ''<nowiki><div></nowiki>'' can be given a ''style'' attribute to add some CSS, in the form ''<nowiki><span style="CSS here"/>content</span></nowiki>''.''
:::::And: ''Styles can be applied at any level - table, row or cell - by adding the code <code>style="style goes here"</code>.  The style is applied using CSS.''
:::::The idea being, if you want to go and learn more you should research CSS. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>
