I think when I looked into this I found there wasn’t any predicable logic to this. You just have to look up the values for the colors you want.
I suppose you could create a table for just the colors you need and then make your selection based on your table. I found this on Wikipedia: The web-safe color <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web-safe_colors> palette consists of the 216 (63) combinations of red, green, and blue where each color can take one of six values (in hexadecimal <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal>): #00, #33, #66, #99, #CC or #FF (based on the 0 to 255 range for each value discussed above). These hexadecimal values = 0, 51, 102, 153, 204, 255 in decimal, which = 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100% in terms of intensity. There is more information there and I imagine there are probably even better resources/explanations you’ll find when you search for them. Good luck!
