The second color selection method is more precise, although it may seem a
little tedious. There are 16 million colors available.
The syntax for using this method requires the hexadecimal number to be
preceeded with a number (#) sign, all within quotes (like: "#ffee22") along
with the modifier (bgcolor, etc).
Most of your better graphic programs allow you to use any of the 16 million
html color codes and provide a way to convert what you see into a hexadecimal
(base 16) value. A good graphics program is the
Paint Shop Pro
program from Jasc. The software is quite powerful but reasonably priced.
I chose to only show you 512 colors with the following HTML color chart. An
HTML color code may look different on different monitors and printers. This
should give you a pretty good idea of how the system works and what each
HTML color code should look like.
