There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

Is that initial zero a typo? I'm asking that because #0F0000 is practically black; by "dark red" people typically refer to colours around #7F0000, with a seven.
Either way, see picture:
collapsed inline media
The colours in the second and third columns are 1/2 and 1/16 the value of the first. The fourth column is black for comparison. This was done by linear equivalence, not perceptual equivalence, so the oranges will look a bit brighter than the red.
I've included two oranges there; middle row is what I learned to be orange (1 part red, 1 part yellow), and bottom row is what CSS calls orange (1 part red, 1.8 parts yellow).
