it is either #ffffff or #fff, or you can go caps, (same goes for the black color #000 or #000000) doesnt really matter. if you have repeating symbols, you can contract them by half. Example #ff0099 can be aslo #f09. Best of luck!

Hello,

000 or #000000 corresponds to pure black while #fff or #ffffff corresponds to pure white.
