Store CSS Color Values in MySQL

Yes, we can. In order to store CSS color value, you can use CHAR(6) without # symbol for hexadecimal. Let us see an example and create a table

mysql> create table storeCSSColorDemo
   -> (
   -> CSSValue char(6)
   -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.53 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command. The records here are individual color values in hexadecimal, for which we have used char(6)

mysql> insert into storeCSSColorDemo values('FF0000');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
mysql> insert into storeCSSColorDemo values('FFA500');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.86 sec)
mysql> insert into storeCSSColorDemo values('FFFF00');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement. The query is as follows −

mysql> select *from storeCSSColorDemo;

The following output displays the color value successfully stored in MySQL table

+----------+
| CSSValue |
+----------+
| FF0000   |
| FFA500   |
| FFFF00   |
+----------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

In the above sample output, the three colors are RED, ORANGE and YELLOW.

NOTE If your column is nullable then you can use VARCHAR(6).
