hint 2

C represents the color Cyan and M for Magenta

The answer is responded, but try to find the sequence behind it. Explain Why

the sequence is related a order of HTML Hex Color Codes.

• Hmm, no luck so far. Is it trivia related? I.e. do we need to know about a sport to answer it? May 11 '15 at 13:01
• no, its not about a sport May 11 '15 at 13:02
• first is A right ? :) May 11 '15 at 13:06
• @user2408578 no :( May 11 '15 at 13:07
• I'm thinking colour models on first glance. May 11 '15 at 13:08

As HumphreyTheHater stated,

Black and White, or B and W, respectively

But why are these the proper letters?

Black = 0x000000
Blue = 0x0000FF
Green = 0x00FF00
Cyan = 0x00FFFF
Red = 0xFF0000
Magenta = 0xFF00FF
Yellow = 0xFFFF00
White = 0xFFFFFF

These colors follow the standard binary counting system, using 00 for 0 and FF for 1:
000
001
010
011
100
101
110
111

• correct answer :D May 11 '15 at 14:37
• btw, this question was bad? beacuse I got 2 negative votes, it's my first question and I want know if there is something bad . May 11 '15 at 14:52
• @Christian I would think the main reason would be because it was vague. You could have cryptically referenced the fact that they were web based colors. After seeing that and doing some pondering was when it clicked for me, but that's because I'm a developer and stare at values like this every day. May 11 '15 at 15:04

B & W

representing

Black and white? Seems like the two obvious missing 'colours' from cyan, yellow, red, blue, green

• yes it's the answer, i give the second hint but it's didn't need May 11 '15 at 13:27
• so how this sequence would be? B, B, G, C, R, M, Y, W ? B is already there but... May 11 '15 at 13:28
• @Humphreythehater but there is a sequence behind this, do you know? May 11 '15 at 13:30
• @MokshShah B is repeated, but the answer is B, B, G, C, R, M, Y, W May 11 '15 at 13:31
• @Christian Then what does that 2nd B represent ? May 11 '15 at 13:34
