Applications of hexadecimal
system
A few applications of hexadecimal system are explained below:
▪ Colours
▪ RGB Colour Model
▪ Errors
▪ MAC address
▪ URL
Colours

▪ Hexadecimal numbers are used to represent colours in various


software tools.
▪ A colour is represented in #RRGGBB format. RR, GG and BB
represent the hex number of red, green and blue colours.
▪ A pure blue colour is #0000FF, white is #FFFFFFF and black is
#0000000.
▪ Using this method, 256 variants of each colour can be made, hence
making a total of 256 reds × 256 greens × 256 blues.
▪ A shade of yellow is represented in hex format as #FEF65B.
RGB
Errors

▪ Error message contains a hex number that represents the


memory location of the error.
▪ This information is very useful to programmers.
▪ The error can be easily rectified by verifying the code in that
particular location.
MAC addresses

▪ A media access control address refers to the number on the Internet that
uniquely identifies a device on the Internet.
▪ This is the address of the network interface card (NIC).
▪ A MAC address is made up of 48 bits, which are shown as a six-group of
hexadecimal digits.
NN-NN-NN-DD-DD-DD or NN: NN: NN: DD: DD: DD
URL
▪ Hexadecimal values are used to represent web addresses or
URL (Uniform Resource Locator). The ASCII codes are used to
represent the web address.
▪ For example: [Link] becomes: (using the ASCII
codes)
