Most used color formats are HEX and RGBA. HEX stands for hexadecimal colors while RGBA stands for "red, green, blue, alpha". HEX color code may have varying character length with a maximum of 8 without # sign. First 6 characters shows the amount or red, green and blue. There are 2 hexadecimal characters for each color. Each character may vary within 0-9 & a-f which means a total of 16 possibilities. For 2 characters, it means 256 possibilities. If you use 8-character length HEX code, last 2 characters symbolizes alpha of the color. In RGBA color format, there are 4 arguments.
