You might need to convert RGB colors to hexadecimal notation in order to specify colors in an HTML document.

Hexadecimal colors are still in RGB notation, only they're written in six consecutive hexadecimal digits with the first two representing red, the second two representing green, and the last two representing blue.

If you can't convert base 10 into base 16 easily, here are a few shortcuts: #00 is 0, #33 is 51, #66 is 102, #99 is 153, #CC is 204 and #FF is 255. These shortcuts also have the advantage of being the values used to produce Netscape's color cube and consequently colors made exclusively of these values will not dither in 256 color mode.
