Because even binary numbers have a 0 a the end, odd binary numbers have a 1 at the end

5. Colours in art packages are often given using hexadecimal as illustrated below with
#00ccff.

Explain why hexadecimal is used rather than the actual 24-bit colour value.
- Quicker to write or type

- Less likely to make errors
