Are there any ways to study all the colour codes used for web designing and keep it in mind with simple tips? I want to know if there are some websites that help to learn the colour codes easily.

RGB model - A simple example of the RGB model showing basic colour composition
The colours are often represented by a 24bit code, in the RGB format. RGB stands for R=Red, G=Green, B=Blue, each of these 3 components is represented by a 8 bit value, it means you can give each component a value from 0 to 255, where 0 is no color and 255 the full-intensity. Remember RGB is an additive model, so all 0-value components means black, wherever all full'intensity components give you white. Usually the color values are written in hexadecimal format so you can see 6 digits ranging from 0 to F (A stands for 10, B=11,C=12,D=13,E=14,F=15). The first 2 digits represent the RED value, the second two represent the GREEN and the last two the BLUE. You can then combine the three components to get up to 16 million colors. Some examples: 000000= black FFFFFF= white FF0000= red 00FF00= green 0000FF= blue FFFF00= yellow FF00FF= magenta 00FFFF= cyan

Each colour has a code. The most common and popular web page colours can be kept in mind. That's what I wanted. The codes of most popular colours to be remembered easily.
