Hi everyone
I am looking for a tool so when I see a certain color on a website I can select it and it will give me the hex code for it because I know primary colors but different shades are hard to get exactly the same when designing. Does anyone know how to help me? Many thanks HLA91 |

Here's one.
http://iconico.com/ColorPic/ There are oodles of them. Go to some freeware site and search for "Color Picker" or just google. Maybe you find one you like better, although that one is pretty nifty.  |

My favourite: http://www.visibone.com/colorlab/
It's a point and click palette of the 216 web-sage colours, that (quickly) shows/contrasts the Hex, RGB, CMYK and 'name' values of your last eight choices |

This is a good one http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html
However, I must add that in these day of quite capable graphic cards there's no need for "web safe" colors. I mean, how many people do you know that uses 256-colors screen? And we all can see jpgs in millions of color withouts problems, right? |

Except neither of those online tools can pick the color off a webpage, can they?
 ColorScheemer (the Windows program) can. Great little tool |

QUOTE(stjepan @ Jul 8 2007, 10:04 AM)  ... there's no need for "web safe" colors. I mean, how many people do you know that uses 256-colors screen? Indeed I misread the OP... unlike Pandy - nice link! At 'design' time, my pages are usually a visual nightmare - akin to a psychedlic tartan rug - simply because I colour all of my divs in contrasting colours, which is something the visibone tool makes v easy |

I use this one sometimes and it's really good tool http://www.colorjack.com/sphere/. Btw, choosing the right color combination is the hardest part of the design process, so don't be to harsh on yourself.
