No, it's not stupid, it's as a matter of fact the only way of adressing (either colors or adresses in an excel sheet) a computer would understand. Gee..

yeah memorys of my ict lessons late last year are coming through, 8bit and 16bit binary coding etc. memory always doubles, 256, 512, 1024 etc. A Mb is 1024k in size not 1000k due to this reason.

I'm sorry, but being a programmer i couldn't help myself and had a good laugh reading this thread.

Keeping it veeeeeeeeeeery simlple:
Since all digital electronics use electric power it's much simpler to transfer data like a ON/OFF switch. ON being 0 and OFF being 1.
So all the data you can transfer are 0's and 1's. By grouping them you have binary values/data:
000 (binary) = 0 (base 10)
001 (binary) = 1 (base 10)
010 (binary) = 2 (base 10)
011 (binary) = 3 (base 10)
100 (binary) = 4 (base 10)
101 (binary) = 5 (base 10)
110 (binary) = 6 (base 10)
111 (binary) = 7 (base 10)

to make conversions from binary is simple:
ex: 1011 = 1 x 2e3 + 0 x 2e2 + 1 x 2e1 + 1 x 2e0
11 = 8 + 0 + 2 + 1
