Hi Kiara, are you struggling with Hexadecimal numbers?

It uses a base16 numbering system and is also based on R G B. So Red, Green and Blue and the higher the numbers the brighter the shade of that colour.

So you could have ff in red, 00 in green and 00 in blue to get a red colour.

To get this in CSS just use the # preceding the numbers.

e.g.

background: #ff0000;

Actually I just guessed from the link to the challenge. So it seemed like the sensible way to go! :-)
