    Hello:

    I have a CSS file which has the first three characters of the hex code for colors.

    Can someone tell me how I can figure out the entire hex code? I need to change some colors and the three characters is not helping.

    Thanks.

    If there is a hex code with just three letters or numbers duplicate it for the real hex.

    For example: #fff = #ffffff = white

    Hi,

    So if I have a code like #CCC it is #CCCCCC.

    Now what happens if I have a code like #F93?

    Or, let's say I have the following #F5F5DC, how do I convert that into 3 characters?

    True

    It's equivalent to #ff9933

    You don't. See §4.3.6 Syntax and basic data types, color-units.

    cheers,

    Only repetitious hex values can be converted into a three digit hex. I don't use three digit because eventually someone will get confused by the code.
