Try this for a color picker that works on PC's. http://eyedropper.inetia.com/ it will give you the hex values for any color you put it on.   All the best, Thom Meyer       -------Original Message-------   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 03/31/04 21:09:30 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WSG] New Colour Schemer - draft - any suggestions?   Yes, good idea Leo.    I think there’s a little flash gadget you can add to coldfusion pages that does that.  I’ll have a look for it.   Thanks.     Cheers Mike Kear From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Leo J.

Using hex number input alone doesn't work for those who don't know the hex numbers they need or would like to browser color schemes. I have been using hex values for color long before the web existed and I still don't remember which values belong to what colors. I use a donationware program called iColors on the Mac and it is a great little single purpose color app but I'm not sure if it's available on the PC. It allows you to select any pixel on the screen in any app and will show you the color and hex value.
