RGB Color Code Characteristics of Black & White

The RGB color code for black is #000000, or rgb(0, 0, 0), and for white it is #FFFFFF, or rgb(255, 255, 255). When all three channels move away from the extremes at the same time, you enter the gray range, forming a complete lightness scale from dark to light. Black-and-white color codes are the most basic constants in design and are ideal as the standard colors for text, borders, and negative space.

Visual Impressions and Associations of Black & White

Black is solemn and powerful, white is bright and open, and every ratio between them changes the character of a composition: more black makes it mysterious and weighty, more white makes it crisp and restrained. The visual language of minimalism and high-end brands is almost always built on the order of black, white, and gray.

Common Color Code Formats and How to Copy Them

In this Black & White color chart, every color provides the two most commonly used color code formats at the same time: HEX and RGB. A HEX color code looks like #RRGGBB, made up of six hexadecimal characters; it is compact and is the most universal notation in web CSS and design software. An RGB color code looks like rgb(R, G, B), using three decimal values from 0 to 255 to describe the intensity of the red, green, and blue channels, which is better suited to numerical calculations and dynamic adjustments in code. The two formats describe the same color and can be converted into each other. When you use it, click any color card to open the detail page, where you can copy the corresponding color code with one click, or view more formats such as HSL, HSV, and CMYK in the parameter conversion table to meet the needs of different workflows like print and film.
