  1. HEX is actually easier and faster than RGB. The HEX color code consists of the same three parts, red, green and blue, defined in two-digit HEX values ranging from 00 (=0 in decimal) to FF (= 255 in decimal ). So, a bright red would be #FF0000 in HEX and RGB(255,0,0) in, well, RGB. That’s FF or 255 of red, 0 of green, 0 of blue. Which one is faster to type and cleaner to read?
