I am so confused on how to get specific colors with this pen block, someone explain this to me pls

set pen color to (number)

Scratch uses 8 bits per channel color, in RGB format. Transparency is also possible as ARGB but I won't explain it yet.

The color represented as a number is the channels combined:

set pen color to ((((R) * (65536)) + ((G) * (256))) + (B))

• R, G, and B are integers between 0 and 255
  
• 65536 is calculated from 256^2
  

A hidden feature of Scratch is that it can handle hexadecimal numbers. The following also work for setting the color:

set pen color to (join [0x] [ff3000])
set pen color to (join [#] [ff3000])

The join blocks are just so that text can be entered into the input.
