Anyone here knows of a program that allows you to pick a color, then it will tell you the HTML code for that color?

If you've used PaintShopPro before, you'll know what I mean.

You'll have to find it, but there is one called eyedropper.exe that runs in the Windows start bar and you can choose a colour on anything (any program, any image) and it will display hex and rgb.

Check downloads.com or tucows.com for other apps like it as well.

I can't get it to download, even by going to the actual site and downloading from there!

This article I wrote on color should really help you. Lots of options!

=========

What's Color Have To Do With It?

I bet you'd be able to tell me, in 10 seconds or less, the
colors that McDonalds, Burger King, K-Mart and Wal-Mart use.
That's because they have used these colors, their logos and
even their slogans to "brand" themselves. Branding helps
clients "remember you".

As a business owner, you too can "brand" your business. An
example would be my website, Welcome Kit, forms, business
cards etc. They all contain the same colors, fonts, logo,
and graphics. Actually, even my website name "coach maria"
brands me. I've met individuals who think they "know" me, or
have met me before, however, I don't know them! When we
figure out where they know me from, it's from a discussion
group or my website. Branding works!

Take the time now, as you start your business, to decide
what colors you'll be using in your branding campaign. A few
things to remember about colors: a) Colors may appear
different when used in print media (such as your brochure)
vs. on the Internet. b) Different browsers (Microsoft
Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator) show colors
differently. c) The same color on different parts of a page
(the background and border, for example) may look different,
even in the same browser. d) On the Internet, white is a
color. If you do not "name" it white, then it will appear as
gray on Netscape.

So before you decide on a color for your website, check the
color in a few browsers. In fact, if you're a web designer,
designing a color page may be helpful for your clients. You
can view a sample color page at
