It's RGB.


The format is 0xRRGGBB
0x000000

R = Red
G = Green
B = Blue

For example, full red = 0xFF0000

If you don't know HEX, F = 15
HEX is 16-base, where 10-15 are represented by letters.

0123456789ABCDEF (A = 10, B = 11 etc)

So counting to 50 would look like this:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 1F 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 2A 2B 2C 2D 2E 2F 31 32
(add a zero in front of the lonely ones when using in Lua, e.g. 0A as in 10: 0x0A0008)

FF represents the number we know as 255, which is the maximum number for a color.

Just like in school when you mix colors, for example red + blue will make purple.
Just like that, if you use here:
0xFF00FF

This is full red and full blue which makes purple. You can also use less red and more blue for example by writing e.g.
0xAA00FF

White color is 0xFFFFFF
Black color is 0x000000

Or for "color" function: color(98, 13, 17, 20)
This is color(r, g, b, opacity)

In this case though it's a number between 0-255.

So for white you would write color(255, 255, 255)
and for black color(0, 0, 0)

Red is
color(255, 0 0)

Blue is
color(0, 0, 255)

etc etc...


You can either play with those numbers or find an RGB/HEX color picker, like this one for example: http://www.colorpicker.com/
In that one you will get the HEX number above (just add 0x in front of it to make it work in the Lua script) and the 3 bottom values to the right of the picker box is the RGB values.
