I want to give multiple colors to different features within a shapefile based on attribute values , is this possible in QGIS ?

If yes what is the procedure ?

Is there a way to provide color by means of hexadecimal codes ?

QGIS project offers a very good manual: qgis.org/en/documentation/manuals.html. I suggest reading it. – underdark♦ Feb 16 '12 at 9:09

You can change the styles of the shape file in the layer properties. Double click the layer and select style.
Select Categorized style and choose a field you want to visualize. Remember to classify your values before leaving the dialog.Style dialog in QGIS.
