What kind of color coding has color codes like "#e00c44" and "#f9c0ca"?

While making a layout for a profile (for gaiaonline.com) The color coding didn't seem like the kind I was used to. I'm used to #000000 being black, and #FFFFFF being white. They had colors like "#e00c44" and "#f9c0ca".


Is this the same kind?


(BTW, I think the colors are a pink-ish shade.)

Reply:yes its the hexidecimal representation of RGB





for instance if you had #646464





it would be the same as saying 100 RED, 100 Green, 100 Blue
