The following sets of numbers are connected through a common rule/patern. Find the missing number(?)
$(255,153,51x)(153,0xx,51x) = 669900$
$(255,204,51x)(204,51x,51x) = 339900$
$(153,153,204)(0xx,204,51x) = ?$

$\begingroup$ The $0x$ on the first row, is it intentional or should be $0xx$? Then on the last row, the second number in each triplet, shouldn't they be swapped? $\endgroup$– athinCommented May 15, 2019 at 0:36

$\begingroup$ Yeah you are right about the x. But no, the numbers dont need to be swapped. $\endgroup$– NoLand'sManCommented May 15, 2019 at 0:38

$\begingroup$ Did you intentionally remove the first x (from 51x between first brackets)? $\endgroup$– ImusCommented May 15, 2019 at 13:40

My guess is
$993399$
Because
We need to calculate the difference between the triplets, so we have:
$(255,153,51x) - (153,0xx,51x) = (102,153,0xx)$
$(255,204,51x) - (204,51x,51x) = (51x,153,0xx)$
$(153,153,204) - (0xx,204,51x) = (153,51x,153)$
Then
Ignoring $x$, translate each number into hex (base-$16$), so we get:
$(102,153,0) = (66,99,00)$
$(51,153,0) = (33,99,00)$
$(153,51,153) = (99,33,99)$
