    This tiny bit of code allows you to rapidly subtract the Red, Green and Blue values from a hexadecimal colour code. Once you have the R, G, B bits you can then manipulate them and once done convert them back to a single Hex value.<\/p>\n

    An important thing to remember is bitmasking<\/a>, this can be used to switch a set of bits either on or off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
