Colour Cube Theory

Each slice below represents a cross-section of the 216 colour cube. These colours are made up from three elements (red, green, blue), with 6 choices for each channel, resulting in the 216 combinations.

These colours are recognised by any monitors running 256 colours and above, enabling designers to maintain colour integrity regardless of the platform or browser being used.
