Hex color in p5js web editor

In the future please try to be more specific. Saying it doesn’t work doesn’t tell us much, so try to describe the behavior you expected versus what you’re actually seeing.

Also, try to get into the habit of looking at your JavaScript console. Any errors you get will show up there.

Anyway, take a closer look at this line:

let c1 = color(’#f92804’);

Notice that the apostrophe characters in there are smart quotes instead of the straight up-and-down apostrophe character.

If I change that line to this:

let c1 = color('#f92804');

Then I see a single red rectangle on the screen, which is what I would expect.
