orange

Can someone provide me a good html # for orange? I can't
seem to quite get it right. I tried F6910, but it seems
too much like a peach color. F7800 is too dark with too
much red. TIA

Orange should be #FFA500, or do you mean a # code: 42495 ?
Never used that one, but my colorpicker translates HTML #FFA500
to # 42495. (and to rgb(255,165,0))

Should it? The name orange is undefined as a color name in CSS 1 and CSS 2,
as well as in HTML. Thus, a conforming browser ignores a CSS rule or HTML
attribute to the extent that it uses that name.

In the CSS 2.1 draft, orange is (completely pointlessly) suggested to be
defined as meaning #FFA500.

But we cannot read the OP's mind and say what he means by "orange".
What he really needs is a numeric code for the color he wants.
A color picker is a suitable tool for that.

I'm sorry. I should have mentioned that this particular use of
the word 'should' was not intended the way you read it.

I don't see it as pointless. If I tell the browser to give
some element background-colorrange, it's useful to know it
translates that colour to #FFA500.

Yes, and that's what I use. I didn't however have the url to
an online tool at hand, so I did the best I could, I answered
his question, which was "Can someone provide me a good html #
for orange?".

I did exactly that. I provided him with a good html # for
orange. Whether he decides it's the one he wants is up to him.

I like #ff7f00, the midpoint between red #ff0000 and yellow #ffff00.

The # was perfect. Thanks.

#F72 works close.
