The color code for yellow in Photoshop, represented using the RGB color model, is R: 255, G: 255, B: 0. This can also be expressed as the hex code #FFFF00.
Understanding Yellow's Color Code
In the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color model, colors are created by combining varying intensities of red, green, and blue light. Each value ranges from 0 to 255. For pure yellow, the red and green components are at their maximum intensity (255), while the blue component is at its minimum (0).
The hexadecimal (hex) code is another way to represent colors, commonly used in web design and digital graphics. It's a six-digit code, where the first two digits represent red, the next two represent green, and the last two represent blue. Each pair of digits is a hexadecimal number (00-FF), equivalent to the decimal range of 0-255. Thus, #FFFF00 represents full red, full green, and no blue, which results in yellow.
Different Shades of Yellow
While #FFFF00 represents pure yellow, there are numerous shades of yellow achievable by slightly adjusting the RGB values. Here are a few examples:
| Shade of Yellow | Hex Code | RGB Value |
|---|---|---|
| Lemon Yellow | #FFFACD | R: 255, G: 250, B: 205 |
| Golden Yellow | #FFD700 | R: 255, G: 215, B: 0 |
| Light Yellow | #FFFFE0 | R: 255, G: 255, B: 224 |
