Create Colors Using RGB
RGB color codes consist of 3 numbers ranging from 0-255. It often looks like this 0,0,0 up to 255,255,255. Each specifies the amount of Red, Green and Blue that should be added to a color. Mathematically 255 x 255 x 255 = 16,777,216 color options. This will give you more precise color control.
