Question

I’m learning bootstrap from twitter, I want to do some color changes, and I got this color code: #08c

I want to know if it represent #0088cc (and same way for other variations?)

and how is it called so I can find some online color palette.

I thank your help in advance

Answer 1

Yes #08c is equivalent to #0088cc.

Not all colors have names. This one in particular does not.

For a list of all named colors defined in css3 see the spec

From the spec

The format of an RGB value in hexadecimal notation is a ‘#’
immediately followed by either three or six hexadecimal characters.
The three-digit RGB notation (#rgb) is converted into six-digit form
(#rrggbb) by replicating digits, not by adding zeros. For example,
#fb0 expands to #ffbb00. This ensures that white (#ffffff) can be specified with the short notation (#fff) and removes any dependencies
on the color depth of the display.
