Hexadecimal colour codes are codes comprising six hexadecimal digits in whichthe first two digits represent the red colour typethe middle two digits represent the green colour typethe last two digits represent the blue colour typeSince two hexadecimal digits give 256 values, the 6 digit code can represent 16,777,216 colours.
A hexadecimal colour code is a six-digit code wherethe first two digits represent the hexadecimal code for the red colour type,the second two digits represent the hexadecimal code for the green colour type, andthe third two digits represent the hexadecimal code for the blue colour type.In each case, these codes include leading zeros, so that they are two digit codes in the range [00, FF].

The binary number 1000 is the decimal (base 10) number 8. The digits in a binary number are exponents of 2 rather than 10, so that for a four-digit number in binary, the digit places represent 8, 4, 2, 1 1000 (binary) = 8 + (0x4) + (0x2) + (0x1) = 8
Because - Hex is an exact multiple of binary - whereas decimal numbers need to be converted from base 10 to base 2.
