Somebody tell me if I'm way off, but here's one take.
The colors are represented by what we call RGB colors. These are identified
as red, green and blue intensities in a range 0-255 (0-0xFF in HEX). They
get pasted together into one big number which in hex is 6 digits, 2 each for
the three basic colors. So red is 0xFF0000, green is 0x00FF00, blue is
0x0000FF. Anything else is a mix of the three. In decimal numbers it is
much harder to see how things mix.
If you have Photoshop or some other good graphics program you can probably
test colors directly. Vanilla Windows has Paint under
Start/Programs/Accessories/Paint. If you run Paint, select Colors/Edit and
then click on "Define Custom Colors" you'll see a palette and some boxes
down in the lower right. They will show RGB values (unfortunately in
decimal). You can type various numbers into those boxes and it will show
you the resulting color. You can use the Scientific Calculator provided
with Windows to convert HEX to and from Decimal.
