Color
Finally, if you don't want to use the web-safe colors, you'll need to convert the RGB values to the hexadecimal format needed for HTML. This is easy to do. Bring up your personal computer's calculator. On a PC, it is under the Start Menu, Accessories. Unless you've modified the settings, the calculator will come up in Standard mode. You'll need to go under the View menu and select Scientific mode.
Begin by entering the R value into the calculator (here, 59). Click the circle (radio button) next to the word Hex. That will change the decimal R value into the hexadecimal value you need for HTML. Write it down. Click the Dec radio button, and repeat for the G value. Repeat the process for the B value.
Decimal G Value
The above figure shows the decimal value for the G color (215) that I took from the colormix screen. You can see that the circle next to Dec is selected for decimal mode.
Hexadecimal G Value
This figure shows the hexadecimal value that I got after clicking the Hex radio button. It is D7. I did the same process with the other two colors and got the following:
Decimal Hexadecimal R 59 3B G 215 D7 B 255 FF
Put the hexadecimal numbers in the same RGB order, put a # on the front and you have your HTML color code: #3BD7FF.
ColorMix has additional capabilities that you may find useful. Have fun playing with your colors!
