CSS CSS Basics (2014) Understanding Values and Units Color Values Review

In the rgb function, the value rgb( , , ) represents 100% white, while the value rgb( , , ) represents 100% black.

I entered 255,255,255 and then 000,000,000

The answer came back as incorrect?!

Hi Abid,

for the rgb of white you want - (255,255,255)

for the rgb of black you want - (0,0,0)

this is because they work on a numeric scale from 1 to 255 in exact representations of the number so..

(3,45,214) NOT (003,045,214)

Hope this helps :)

Craig

(255,255,255) in RGB is black, and (0,0,0) is white.
