Let's go get that RGB code . . .

 

 

 

Hi Everybody,

 

I thought that I would put this up on the site,  for some of you that have asked me to explain about RGB code, and so that others may benefit

from the explanation in the future.   Here are some ways to find the RGB code when it is needed for your applet codes. 

 

First of all, RGB stands for Red, Green, Blue.  Every color is made up of a percentage of these three main colors.  In Paint Shop Pro, which most of us are familiar with, you will find the RGB code in the color palette chart.  Simply click in one of the  color boxes on the right side of your screen  in Paint Shop Pro and the color chart will pop up for you.  I have circled with blue where to find the

RGB color codes in the palette example below.....

 

 

 

 

 

Here is another way I find the RGB code. 

Download Tray Color

I use this exe program alot.  Unzip the zip file and extract it to a place

where you will be able to find it easily.  I keep mine

right on my desktop and use it alot.  I like it because

you can grab a color from anywhere, even on your

desktop, without having to open your Paint Shop Pro

or another program.  Or, you can use the color palette

to select any color you want.  It is just a simple exe file. 

I hope you like it and get alot of use out of it.  I have

circled the RGB color code with blue and the

Hexidecimal code in red .  Most of you have used that

code in your stationery scripts.  Here is a screen shot of

what you will see....

 

 

 

Here is an example using the RGB code

for a text color in an applet tag.... 

 

<PARAM NAME="textcolr" VALUE="208">

 <PARAM NAME="textcolg" VALUE="128">

<PARAM NAME="textcolb" VALUE="63">

 

Here is an example using the RGB code

for a background color in an applet tag.... 

 

     <PARAM NAME="backblue" VALUE="107">  

<PARAM NAME="backred" VALUE="61">

    <PARAM NAME="backgreen" VALUE="79">

 

These are just a few ways you will see

it used.  There are others, but generally look

for the r,g,b or red, green, blue to be used and

you can usually figure it out. 

I hope this info has been helpful for you.
