In other words, black.

Did you know that the[RGB color model⁠](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGB%5Fcolor%5Fmodel#History%5Fof%5FRGB%5Fcolor%5Fmodel%5Ftheory%5Fand%5Fusage)was invented way before the first computer screens? It was a physicist James Maxwell who started experimenting with tri-color filters in 1861 — he produced the world’s first color photograph, and came up with the theory of additive color.

In Hex, the RGB representation for the color black is #000000 -- much like this Friday.
