You can also specify colours in Hexadecimal RGB triplets. This has a two digit hexadecimal number to change the value of Red Green and Blue. Hexadecimal counts to 16 in one digit, eg.:
0=0
1=1
2=2
3=3
4=4
5=5
6=6
7=7
8=8
9=9
a=10
b=11
c=12
d=13
e=14
f=15
If you view the source of this page(always remember) you can see the hexadecimal triplets for each colour on this page. Experiment with them to achieve that perfect colour.
