bring up the Photoshop Color Picker. In the # field at the bottom enter the color value

#7f0c00 and #450400 are hexadecimal values (base 16 as opposed to decimal base 10). These are often used in web based content.
The first two digits represent the red value, the second two are green and the last two are blue.
7f in hex = 127 in decimal
0c in hex = 12 in decimal
00 in hex = 0 in decimal
45 in hex = 69 in decimal
04 in hex = 4 in decimalYou don’t really need to know this, as you can enter the hex value in the color panel hexadecimal text field. This is at the bottom of the color picker with a # preceding it.
This can also be a really useful method for copying a color value directly from the color panel and pasting it into the panel later, since the entire RGB triplet is stored in one string of hex values.
