colour in digital media is commonly stored 24 bits per pixel; 8 each for red, blue and green. 6 hexadecimal digits encode 24 bits exactly, separating red, blue and green into groups of 2 digits.

The hexadecimal system
Digital color is created using a combination of red, green, and blue (RGB) light in varying intensities, which can be mixed together to produce a wide spectrum of colors. In digital design, colors are often represented using hexadecimal codes or RGB values. Software tools allow users to select, adjust, and manipulate these colors for various applications, ensuring consistency across digital platforms. Additionally, color models like CMYK are used for printing, where colors are created through the combination of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks.
Hexadecimal, or base-16, was developed as a more compact way to represent binary numbers, which are used in digital computing. It aligns well with binary since each hexadecimal digit corresponds to four binary bits, making it easier for programmers and engineers to read and write large binary values. The system gained popularity in the 1960s with the rise of computer programming and digital electronics, where it was used for memory addresses and color codes in graphics. Its efficiency and simplicity in representing data contributed to its widespread adoption in computing.
It is 0000FF.
Just get a different hexadecimal. Here is a really good hexadecimal chart: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_colornames.asp
The color charts many see on the web are HTML codes which contain both numbers and letters. The simplest answer is that both the numbers and letters are used in the hexadecimal numeral system. For example, FF in hexadecimal equals 255.
Hexadecimal color values are representative of variations in Red, Green and Blue (RGB) color, within the structure of the Hexadecimal, or Base 16 positional numeral system. Within this system, values are represented 0-9, and A-F (representing 11-16). The structure of hexadecimal color value is actually three sets of two digit hexadecimal numbers (e.g. 0F 28 7D). The first value set determines the amount of red, the second green, and the third blue. Within each set, the first number is in value increments of 16, and the second in increments of 1. Where "12 34 56" represents 18 levels of red, 52 levels of green, and 36 levels of blue. You can get a pretty good feel for this color system by playing with the tool over at ColourLovers (see related link.)
A digital photo editor (also called a digital image editor) is a tool or software package that allows a user to manipulate certain properties of an image, such as exposure (light/dark), color saturation and image size. Digital photo editors may also be used to manipulate the image itself, adding or subtracting parts of the image in order to change it.
The hex code is a representation of the color in hexadecimal format. Hexadecimal is a base-16 number system that uses the numbers 0 to 9 and the letters A to F to represent values. The hex code is also known as HTML color code. All colors available in HTML have a corresponding hex color code. The hex code for the color blue is #0000ff. The hex color code for the color red is #ff0000.
#1a0001 is a hexadecimal color, used commonly to make text or background on a webpage a certain color. It is a very deep red, almost black color. #000000 is the hexadecimal code for black, which would be more commonly used.
