Why does the lesson keep referring to RGB colors as “decimal” colors? Isn’t that quite confusing since hex colors are also “hexadecimal”? Where does the decimal come in anyway?
That is weird. It speaks to a confirmation bias of the lesson author. All we need to do is squeak past that and put it into our own perspective. Rear view mirror.
when they say they are equivalent, do they mean none is better than the other?. cause they obviously don’t mean interchangeable. or do they mean they can express the same number of colors?.
Using RGB , you have 256^3 different colors you can choose form, Using Hash, you have 16^6 different colors you can choose from. Both equal 16,777,216 colors. So yes,they express the same number of colors.
If you re-read the Hexadecimal lesson you would find that the colors can be in upper case or lower case or a mixture of both. But obviously, you need to choose one and stick to it for better readability of your code.
