Default Determine RGB of BG Color - 07-03-2003 , 06:27 AM






I have a web page that uses a predefined named color (e.g. <body
BGCOLOR="blanchedalmond">). Where/how can I determine the RGB values for
that - I want to add a matching background to a Java app.

Have a look at Color Picker on http://www.chunting.com or
http://galileo.spaceports.com/~chunting/.

It's a very handy little utility I've used for ages - downloads from the
above sites.

One thing you could do, actually a couple of things:

1) Take a screenshot of the desired page and save it.

2) Download, if you already do not have, Webcolor from
http://www.netpanel.com/software/webcolor.htm

3) Run Webcolor and open the particular screenshot and choose the
color.

4) Choose, either the safety palette colors, or the non-safety palette
colors, then make note/copy the values.

Sincerely,

Andrew H. Carter

Oh god! Yet another software tool that perpetuates the myth of "web safe"
