They're using the same ideology, yes. However, it's using a 256-color palette so you can't just assume one more number past dark red is darker red. It could be tan! Or white! Or green! But not pink, nobody likes pink. (okay it can be pink)

once you get the hang of it, it is a lot easier to use numbers than "reddish-green-with-an-orange-tint" or something. I don't see how you could make it easier than 000000-FFFFFF
