Hexadecimal numbers are used in computing for the convenience of humans since the computer really only understands pure binary. Hex is much more compact than binary since it is based on 16 (the fourth power of 2) instead of 2. Pure binary numbers based on 2 can quickly become unwieldy to write. For example, the three-digit decimal number 513 requires ten digits in pure binary (1000000001) but only three (201) in hex. Representing hex numbers requires sixteen distinct characters compared to the ten used in decimal notation. The sixteen characters that are used are the ten numeric symbols, 0-9, and the first six letters of the alphabet, A-F. The letters are often, but not always, capitalized. Thus, the first ten numbers 0-9 are written the same in both decimal and hex and the equivalents of the decimal numbers 10-15 are indicated by a single letter, ranging from A to F

As with decimal numbers, there are infinitely many of them and so it is not possible to list them.
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.

There are 16 symbols. The number of symbols is always the same as the base.

The hexadecimal system is base 16.
There are 16 symbols.
Considering the lowest five digit hexadecimal number is 10000 (65,536) and the highest is FFFFF (1,048,575), there are 983,040 different hexadecimal numbers that are five digits.
Memory dump which are in binary numbers would have many numbers of 0s and 1s. working with these numbers would be very difficult. Hence two number system hexadecimal and octal number system is used because these numbers are inter convertible with binary numbers by the concept of bits.
