I was wondering, how do you figure out your website's color settings? Like so I can make my adsense ads blend. I'm currently running a blog off blogger. I read the answer,(On how to find your color settings) but I don't have the code in my template. Thanks
paste a screenshot into a graphics app (fireworks, photoshop), and use the color picker to find the hex codes
Thanks but I do not have adobephotoshop only paint LOL. I was looking at the html but the colors I get only have 3 digits. Isn't hex with 6 like for body color I get something like #FFF But isn't supposed to be #FFFFFF?
I am used to seeing a six digit number for color as well. #ff0000 is bright red, #00ff00 is bright green, #0000ff is bright blue, #ffffff white, #000000 black, etc. I use several programs dealing with colors the one I remember is Visibone color picker. Hopefully someone will come along that knows a system using three symbols to designate color for it is something I have not encountered. Good luck,
When you are refering to colors from the standard websafe color pallete and the hex values go in pairs you can shorten them from 6 digits to 3, so #FFFFFF becomes #FFF and #FF0000 becomes #F00. This can be useful in making your overall code size a little bit smaller, especially if using a large style sheet. Regarding your original question Kngavl, I use the same technique as frankcow. I don't know if this helps, but the page in you sig where the adsense ads currently are near the top has a hex value of #335577, which coincidentally could be shortened to #357.
FireFox has a nifty plugin called "colorZilla" All you ahve to do is point and click on the color and it will tell you the code for it !
Actualy in the end I used the Kits Color Picker. It's pretty good, wouldn't have sued the firefox one as I don't know if it works with Bon Echo. www.kits.it
