Re: hexidecimal

In hexidecimal color you can use any combination of the 6 fields say for
instance on my page I have my background set for #00054a

which translates to a midnight blue.  I also realize that it is not a
"browser safe".  The 256 color monitor defaults to a dark blue which is
satisfactory. So to answer your question in short.  Yes you can

Subject: hexidecimal


Greetings,

Most hexidecimal colors I see use pairs: #ffffcc

Can I use this hexidecimal color:  #fffff1  ?


I realize that it is not "browser-safe."  A 256 color monitor will default
to white.  But it is a nice off-white, and transparent gifs will match
closely enough even if the system defaults to white.

My basic question is: Do I have to use character pairs (ff, CC, 00, etc.)
in my hex color choices?
