The hex isn't that super complicated.
You just need to think in terms of mixing light. Find yourself a tinted red, green, and blue light, and mix them together however you want. That's more or less how your monitor works.
Now, 0 is just for no light within a particular shade (of red, green, or blue), and 255 is full light. So pick a value for red, green, and blue, and you've got a new color. Converting those numbers to hex is so elementary you shouldn't need to be worried with it, but windows calculator will do it for you if you're as lazy as I am.
