The RGB Hex colour chart is a very large (183kB) PNG file, and is sized to fit on a standard A4 piece of paper. It shows the 216 so-called "web safe" or "non-dithering" colours (there are actually only 22 web safe colours, but those are revolting). The link below will open in a new window.

And finally, if you like the cheat sheets, and want to say thanks, I do have an Amazon Wishlist. Thankyou very much to those who have already hunted it down and sent me something nice - I'm very grateful!

"Nice and all, but who still designs using 216 colors?" - me.
id love to have this vectorized as pdf... and you could write #F9C instead of this FF99CC, as the sheet only shows web-SMART colors.
btw: i love ur sheets, too.

Web designers. Designers on the web. Designers who use sheets like this.
...90% of the population who read this.
I hope this answered your question.

Nice...i've been trying to figure out the logic of RGB hex codes, and this is starting to make more sense...
R G B
00 00 00
Only every 3rd pair is supported, like 003300, 006600, (shortened as #030 or #360 for css).
But what about letters? Same thing, but there is no equivalent of 0, so we do every third starting at "A"...so
00CC00 is browser safe, but not 00AA00 or 00BB00.
00FF00, or #0f0 in css short-hand.

You mean "Web Designers who haven't paid attention to Web developments since 1997."

Actually, w3c standards are 256 web colors because not everyone owns a brand new PC, one can reach a larger audience with standards. 256 colors are available to everyone, some people won't see non web standard colors if you use them, they will display differently, and that affects design, which is the whole point when solving a visual communication problem. But go ahead and use whatever colors you want its your design.
While this is a great cheat sheet, I'm more inclined to agree with comment #15. Most people these days are using at least 8-bit colour these days. 256 went belly up a long, long time ago.

Being slightly colour blind it's always useful to have these kind of colour sheets as a resource
While most of this site is in various Asian languages, I find the visual display/representation clever. It really puts all the different Web Safe colors into context.

Various Asian languages? Seems like just plain old Japanese to me. Still, it is quite good.
Well, thanks alot for your effort and time to code them on paper. great job.
good luck

Great, i could use a cheatcheat like this!!
HEX and RGB are not the same thing.
RGB is used in CSS in the context
STYLE ="color: rgb(153, 0, 51); "
This chart only has Hex codes, not RGB.
I came to the chart looking for HEX-RGB conversion.
THAT would be useful.

Hi Tyler,
RGB refers to the way the colour is defined - and means that the amount of red, blue and green are specifically defined. Other colour types are CMKY and HSV, for example.
The colours on this sheet are RGB - they are three pairs of digits, each pair defining the amount of red, blue and green respectively in each colour.
The example you give is the decimal equivalent of the hexadecimal numbers, and those numbers on a sheet would be an "RGB Dec" colour chart.
The conversion you are talking about would be a HEX - DEC conversion, and there are plenty on the web (the chart at http://ascii.cl/conversion.htm looks like a good one).

Hey, I love your Cheat Sheets including this RGB Hex Color Chart one I have many a time forgotten a simple color code that I have been able to find quickly using this cheat sheet, I must say these are the best free cheat sheets I could find.

"you could write #F9C instead of this FF99CC" - ugh, you can but don't. Those numbers in hex do not equal each other, just as in base 10, 1 <> 11.
