"so I'm assuming for the colors HTML assigns number codes? You don't just type in "red" "black" "blue"? "
Those work too. Us techies just tend to use hex instead to get finer control over the colors.
For example, "red" == #ff0000, but changing it to #cc0000 results in a much deeper red that has no word associated with it. For most people, the simple words like "red," "blue," or "green" will work just fine. Just make sure you enclose them in quotes.
