Document Summary

Colour: the html 4. 01 standard specifies 147 different colour names however; modern computers can represent, at minimum, over 16 million different colours. Color physics: intuitively, we think that something with no colour is white, we can then add colours like red, yellow, and blue to white, combining these three primary colours gives us different colours: Blue + red = purple: this intuitive way of thinking about colour applies to things like paint and paper however; it does not apply to colour that is created by computer screens. We can think of white as full colour, and black as no colour: light combines differently than paint. A percentage between 0 and 100 will give you something between black and full red: this also applies to green and blue, we can combine different intensities of colours to make new colours. 50% green + 50% blue = dark cyan. Full red is 100% red, 0% green, 0% blue.
