Hexadecimal colors are a group of six characters that make up a specific color. There are over 16 million color combinations that are made up of shades of Red, Green and Blue. A hexadecimal number will look something like #FFFFFF which represents the color white.
Most HTML editors will have a built in Hexadecimal color generator so it's not really necessary that you know what the codes are. With that said, when looking at a hexadecimal color chart you may find a color that you like and choose to use that color by determining it's hexadecimal color.
