What other people have said is true, so to sum up...
colours specified by #c06077 etc are RGB specified. It breaks down
like this:
#rrggbb
where rr is the hexadecimal form of a number between 0 and 255 which
defines the amount of red in the colour. being hexadecimal means
instead of going 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10,11,12,....etc it goes
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f,10,11,12, so 10 in hexidecimal is
actually 16 in decimal. 3b in hexidecimal is 3*16+11 (b=11).
the gg, and bb are just the same as rr but specify the amounts of
green and blue repectively. Hope this makes sense..
