You can set the colors to just about anything and it will show up the same in any browser/format. With hex (#ccffcc) IE, NN, Opera, they all have a slightly different idea of how that color should look. With rgb, you tell the browser what the color should look like. I use rgb alot in designing my sites. Like in this one: http://www.redkrowe.com/~la/index.html My main text color is in rgb: body,p,br,table,th,tr,td,h1 { background-color: rgb(0,0,0); color: rgb(173,255,222); font-family: "Comics Sans MS", Arial, Helvatica, sans-serif; } This is a very specific green. It showed up the same in all the browsers I tested in and as far as I know there's no hex equivilant because I came up with this shade by playing around in Photoshop. The same with my link colors (with the exception of white). With hex, you're limited to a set number of colors. Even fewer if you don't want to run the risk of the browsers showing a slightly different shade. > >(I've only changed the colors for the "Here, Here" text and the "Need >email?..." text below that.) You probably didn't notice a difference because you kept the same color for the text, right? You didn't darken or lighten the green? > > > Replacing the letters with the numbers.

That's why rgb is so much better. Rather then telling the browser a hex code and hoping that it's idea of the color is the same as yours, you're giving a *specific* color code.

No prob. It was my day off and I was feeling communicative.
