Quick Reference
An RGB color value is specified with the rgb() function, which has the following syntax: rgb(red, green, blue).
Each parameter (red, green, and blue) defines the intensity of the color and can be an integer between 0 and 255, or a percentage value (from 0% to 100%).
div {
color: rgb(255, 0, 0); /* red */
}
div {
color: rgb(100%, 0%, 0%); /* red */
}
