What Are HEX Codes?
HEX codes are a simple way to define colors in digital design. They are six-character codes that start with a # symbol, like #FF5733 or #000000. These are shorthand codes which represent the mix of red, green, and blue which compose that color.
For example:
- #FFFFFF is white (maximum red, green, and blue).
- #000000 is black (no red, green, or blue).
- #FF5733 is orange (lots of red, some green, little blue).
The Value of HEX Codes in Branding
HEX codes are essential for maintaining color consistency across websites, apps, and designs. By using exact color codes, you eliminate guesswork and ensure the same result every time.
In a Brand Kit, HEX codes play an important role in keeping your brand's look cohesive. They ensure that your brand colors are accurately represented wherever they appear, reinforcing your visual identity.
