(You could use Calc to do the calculations.) You will need the Red, Green, Blue components for both the navy blue and the deep salmon. Calculate the difference between these three values for these two colors. (Some of these differences might be negative.) Then divide the three RGB components differences by 16 to the difference in RGB components between adjacent letters. For example: RGB for Blue is (0,0,128) and RGB for Light Magenta is (255,0,255). The difference Blue - Light Magenta = (255,0,127). Dividing this by 16 = (15.9375,0,7.9375). Since the RGB values must be whole numbers, I suggest multiplying the RGB result by 1 through 16 and rounding to the nearest whole number. In my case, the second letter would have a RGB of (0+16,0+0, 128+8). Each of these colors can now be created. For the Mac, Preferences > OpenOffice.org > Color (Colour).
