How to Read Hex, RGB, and CMYK Codes

Every color here comes with three kinds of codes. Each one has a job. Here is a simple way to think about them.

Hex is a six-character code that starts with a hash sign. It is the standard choice for websites and apps. The first two characters set red, the next two set green, and the last two set blue. For example, French Blue is #0072BB.

RGB shows the same color as three numbers from 0 to 255. French Blue in RGB is 0, 114, 187. Use RGB for screens, slides, and video. It matches Hex exactly, just written differently.

CMYK stands for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. Printers use this system. The values here come from the standard conversion formula, rounded to whole numbers. They are approximate, because printed ink never matches a glowing screen perfectly.

A simple rule works well. Use Hex or RGB for anything on a screen. Use CMYK for anything on paper.

How to Use Shades Starting With the Letter F

Good color use is mostly about pairing. These shades work in many fields. Here are four pairings from the list, with codes you can copy.

Use	Pairing	Hex Codes	Why It Works
Graphic design	French Blue and Flax	#0072BB and #EEDC82	Blue and yellow sit opposite each other, so both stand out.
Web design	Firefly and Floral White	#314643 and #FFFAF0	Dark text on a soft white page reads clearly (contrast about 9.7 to 1).
Interior design	Frost and Forest Green	#EDF5DD and #228B22	A pale, fresh wall with a broad green accent feels calm and natural.
Fashion	Falu Red and Feldgrau	#801818 and #4D5D53	A deep brick red against gray-green looks rich and grounded.

For graphic design, pick one bold shade and one calm one. Let the bold shade lead. Use Ferrari Red for a button, for example, and Fair Pink for the background.

For web design, always test contrast. Light text on a pale shade like Foam is hard to read. Pair it with Firefly instead.

For interiors, test a small paint sample first. Daylight changes everything. A shade like Finch looks warmer in the morning and cooler at night.

For fashion, think in groups of three. A deep shade, a mid shade, and a light shade make an easy outfit. Field Drab, Fawn, and Floral White are a calm trio.
