Colors in a computer are represented by a mix of the three primary colors (red, green, blue). The hexadecimal (HEX) code represents this mix in a hexadecimal base, with 00 being 0 for whatever color (and being the absence of said color) and FF being 255 (the maximum possible amount of that color). For example, 000000 (six zeros) is pure black, FFFFFF (six F's) is pure white, FF00000 is pure red, etc..
