.css Color Code Help

I did a search for "Theme color codes" to no avail.

I have the theme 7dana-round and would like to change the orange text to something easier on the eyes. Is there a list somewhere of what colors = what codes in the .css file?

Any help appreciated.

Generally, css uses Hex code (#333333), shorthand Hex (#333), or natural language (white, black, red). I believe you can also use RGB, but I've never used anything but hex and natural language.

If you want a great little "color ripper" that will capture the color of anything on your screen and output the appropriate hex value, Click Here. BTW... It's freeware.

Enjoy!

One quick follow up question, if you can use natural language "red", "blue" ,etc then why do ppl use hex?

hello Rhomal,

perhaps ... if you can give us a "translation" of #e7ffb3
we will think about it ...

no...it's just because there are not so many colors available using natural language ..

there are just 16 colors available in html 4.0 for use of colornames (with most UA):
Aqua #00FFFF
Black #000000
Blue #0000FF
Fuchsia #FF00FF
Gray #808080
Green #008000
Lime #00FF00
Maroon #800000
Navy #000080
Olive #808000
Orange #ffA500
Purple #800080
Red #FF0000
Silver #C0C0C0
Teal #008080
White #FFFFFF
Yellow #FFFF00
there are fiew more but wouldn't work with all browser, i think ...
of course you can use rgb too like:

background-color: rgb(213, 219, 225);

cheers
