Good thing I pressed submit before I was finished. Anyways, is there a way I can convert RGB code (specifically, Red 22, Green 22, Blue 18) into the typical HTML format (aka Hex Codes, e.g. Gainsboro DCDCDC). Thanks!
Are you looking for something like this?
Search for a program called Pixie - I think it’s availalbe on download.com. Should do all you want, and is excellent at sitting in the toolbar waiting to be used.
I actually found that earlier during my search, but I couldn’t find a place to insert the RGB values…
I figured that my link wouldn’t help when I saw the rest of your OP, which wasn’t there when I was previewing my reply.
Thanks anyway.
GorillaMan, I tried that program, but it won’t start on my computer for some reason. Damn
Ok, I think i found what I was looking for. Thanks all anyway.
If anyone’s curious, here’s the link
How about this: http://www.lxhome.de/index.php?section=2&subsect=3
OK, maybe I’m about to reveal my ignorance here, but: if the RGB scheme you’re using is (0,0,0) = black and (255, 255, 255) = white, then it’s pretty easy to convert the two. Here’s how: take, for instance, the value for the red channel. Divide it by 16, which will give you a result and a remainder. Write the two as a “two-digit” number, using A=10, B =11, … , F = 15. Repeat for the green and blue channels. Write the three resulting two-digit numbers end-to-end as a six-digit number (in the order red, green, blue), and that’s your hex code.
So for your specific example:
22 -> 16
22 -> 16
18 -> 12
and so your hex code is #161612.
BTW, you can just use the windows calculator to convert decimal to Hexadecimal or pretty much do it in your head. I often adjust the colors just by increasing or decreasing values directly in hex.

How about the one on my site?

You input the Hex numbers just by “mouseover” commands. I think it may be just what you need. It’s free, no downloading required, no salesman will call, etc.
Go on, give it a try.

Well, I figured I’d write another “color selector” program for my website. This one just changes the background color but it has bigger fonts for ease of use and it displays the decimal value as well as the hex value of the color.

Those other programs for changing hex to decimal and vice versa are okay - but it would be nice if those showed the actual color.
This one does.
Ahem, the one I linked to does that and coverts between different color standards. Yours is nice in that you don’t have to type the values and it is good for quickly finding a background color you like. Thanks.

Were you referring to this site?
http://www.lxhome.de/index.php?section=2&subsect=3&lang=eng
I could get it to input numbers and convert those but no color changes occurred. (I might be doing something wrong).
Anyway, thanks for the good words about my webpage color selector.
There is a rectangle in the lower part which shows you the color. Can it be you have to scroll to see it? What resolution are you using?
Sailor
Okay NOW I see it.
[sarcasm alert]
How foolish of me not to notice that rectangle when the instructions were so clearly worded and the output box (the rectangle) was so obviously labeled.
[/sarcasm alert]
Seriously, with all the crap that you can find on any website (banners, pop-ups, etc) it is very easy to overlook something like that colored rectangle.
Also, those JavaScipt alerts are an annoyance and I don’t know why they even bothered to include them.
Of course my own JavaScript mentality might be biasing me slightly.
