Well, it depends.
Older parts that have a 4 digit partnumber get a 6 digit elementID.
A red 2x4 brick have the elementID 300121. Brick shape 3001 + lego code for red 21 = 300121

All new parts have a 7 digit elementID.

A designID is used on both parts, printed parts and multicoloured parts.
At Brickset. Look at the Minion arm in set 75551.
https://brickset.com/parts/design-67908
All the arms have the same DesignID, 67908 even though they're all different in colour. Hence, 69708 is a partnumber.
The three different bodies have different number, even though they have the same shape.
68995, Blue overall, black feet.
69036, Hazmat suit, yellow feet.
69042, Blue pyjamas, white feet.
These numbers are not the shape. It is the number of three differently designed "pattern" on dual/tripple moulded parts.
The three different heads also have different numbers.
68968, Bob
69061, Kevin
69101, Stuart
Look at them closely, they are all dual-moulded and printed. Hence, this is not the number of the shape. It is the number of the design.
