Computer color codes, any help?

I'm working with a program on the computer, a flight simulator, and it reads codes for colors in this format:
0xffffffff
That color is, best I can tell, pure white or very close to it. All I need is the code for pretty close to pure black, if someone can help me with that one.

Thank you very much.

FYI, if you need any other colors, have a look at the picture here...

It's pretty big, so make sure your browser doesn't try to zoom it.

In the FWIW category, the FFFFFF probably stands for 256 values or levels (0-255) for the

red - green - blue - intensity (also called contrast or brightness)

So

ff ff ff ff =

255 255 255 255

or max red, max blue, max green, max bright

Max red with max intensity for example might be

255 000 000 255

or

$ff 00 00 ff

You can arrive at HEX$ values using CALC (start/run/calc) in Windows. Example 1/2 of 255 = 127 = $7f

So medium red would be

$7f 00 00 00

Thanks rebocardo. This really isn't my stuff. I'm great with computers, but never bothered to learn anything of this sort, since I haven't really run into any time when I've needed it.

Thanks again. Rep for you, too.

HTML colors are a LITTLE different than hex colors, they're close enough though. Basically it's Red Green Blue Intesity.

Thank you very much. It just kinda came out at me, since everything else I've done with this program is in the R,B,G format, and suddenly I got this random stuff.

Thanks again. I've successfully managed the ever so basic white to black transformation lol.
