The hexadecimal system is particularly important in computer programming,
since four bits (each consisting of a one or zero)
can be succinctly expressed using a single hexadecimal digit.
Two hexadecimal digits represent numbers from 0 to 255, a common range
used, for example, to specify colors.
Thus, in the HTML language of the web, colors are specified using three
pairs of hexadecimal digits RRGGBB,
where is the amount of red, the amount of green, and the amount of blue.
