Microsoft has been teasing its next-generation Xbox Scarlett project ahead of the Xbox 2019 E3 conference.
Microsoft has been releasing daily E3 2019 countdown videos and as spotted by several eagle-eyed Twitter users, these teasers contain secret codes in the left side of the videos. The first countdown video that Microsoft released some days ago, contains the R 255 code, while Microsoft’s second video contains the G 36 code. Microsoft’s most recent countdown displays the B 0 code. When combined, these codes form the RGB code for ‘Scarlet’ (255,36,0). We’ve included Microsoft’s countdown videos down below:

As reported by The Verge, Microsoft has confirmed that is has been teasing its Xbox Scarlett project. It isn't the first time that Microsoft hides teasers in its E3 countdown videos – 2 years ago, the company used secret codes to tease its Project Scorpio, now known as the Xbox One X, project.
As covered earlier, Microsoft appears to be working on two new next-generation consoles under the umbrella of the Xbox Scarlett codename, one of them is the high-end Xbox Anaconda console.
Microsoft's media briefing is being held at its Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, starting at 1 p.m. PT (4 p.m. ET) on Sunday, June 9.
