Purple Color Code

We’ll start off with the one that has Purple as its CSS name. Its hex code is #800080.

Purple is a secondary color in the RGB color space, where colors are created by red, green, and blue light. And it’s also secondary in the CMYK system, which is made with pigments.

The RGB system is used by display monitors such as computers, TVs, and mobile devices. The RGB values for this purple are 128, 0, 128.

This means red light is set at 50% and so is blue, with no green light at all. As this is 33% of maximum value, it’s a nice medium purple, not a neon one!

CSS Purple is not a web safe color. The closest web safe purple is #990099, since it can be represented by #909.

In CMYK values, this purple is 100% Magenta and 50% Black. Basically a dark magenta! This can also be expressed as C: 0, M: 100, Y: 0, K: 50.
