Re: HTML Colour Groups

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

Note there's a bug in the property inspector when using hex colors. It 
works and the color is applied to the object, but it doesn't show up in the 
property inspector's color squares.

Re: HTML Colour Groups

[Paul Hibbert via use-livecode]

Hi Terence,

I’m not sure where these originate from, although I suspect they are from an 
earlier HTML version than is displayed on w3schools.

After a quick comparison, the missing colours appear to be;

Aqua
Crimson
Fuchsia
Indigo
Lime
Olive
RebeccaPurple
Silver
Teal

It probably wouldn’t be too difficult to catch these and substitute the Hex 
codes. It also wouldn’t take too much work to build your own custom list if you 
needed it, there's a really comprehensive list of colour names on Wikipedia.

It maybe worth a bug report to get the colorNames updated, I wouldn’t expect it 
to be too high a priority, but it should be an easy fix so you never know.

Regards

Paul

Re: HTML Colour Groups

[Tore Nilsen via use-livecode]

You try to sign a value to tColor with the command set. The right command is 
put, as in this example, this works on my end:
put "#FFC0CB" into tColor

set the backgroundcolor of graphic 1 to tColor

Our posts just crossed in the post

Can you answer my question about using hex in a variable when setting an 
objects colour.

Thanks

Re: HTML Colour Groups

[Terence Heaford via use-livecode]

It seems that LC only supports the use of names that can be found by

put the colorNames function

and

“Crimson” is not one of those.

How the names of colors included is determined, I do not know.

I just thought (clearly incorrectly) that HTML colors were included.


On another point.

When you use Hex directly as in

set the background color of graphic 1 to #FFC0CB

works but….

set tColor to “#FFC0CB”

set the background color of graphic 1 to tColor

does not.

Could someone explain how to do hex with a variable

Thanks

Terry

"the colornames" will give you a sorted list of the available colors.

The colors are the standardized X11 color names from the X.org source code.

Re: HTML Colour Groups

[Rick Harrison via use-livecode]

Hi Terry,

Does it work if you use the Hex Code instead of the name?

Are you using the LC Server for this?
If so, what version of LC server are you running?

Is the code embedded as LC code or is it HTML or CSS?

Have you tested it in more than one Web-browser?
Sometimes things don’t work in one but do in another.
I have had instances of something working correctly
in Firefox but not in Chrome etc.

If you can show us the offending line/lines of code
that would be helpful too.

Rick

HTML Colour Groups

[Terence Heaford via use-livecode]

I thought LC supported HTML Colour Names?

I have been using the Colour Name Groups found here

https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_groups.asp 


and found that some of the colours do not work in LC.

For example “Crimson” reports an error in LC.

Can someone explain this anomaly please.
