RGB colors are set by using a number between 1 and 255 for each of the Red, Green, and Blue portions. An RGB color value specifies the relative intensity of red, green, and blue to cause a specific color to be displayed.
The RGB value is calculated by the following equation: Red + (Green * 256) + (Blue * 65536)
The following table lists some standard colors, their red, green, and blue values, and their RGB value.
