Roger in Sheffield,

Believe it or not, those are my failures. I decided to give it a rest for a while before continuing.

Hesperis gave me the codes, but since, in this case we are working with light, rather than pigment, trying to figure it all out was making my brain hurt.

This is what she told me:

"Color is defined by Red, Green, and Blue values, in this order: 00 00 00,
and by least to most values.

numbers in order of least to most:
0123456789ABCDEF

Red is #FF FF 00, the FF is the biggest value of red and the least value of the other two, which makes pure red.

Yellow is #FF FF 00, which is red+green at the highest value, and blue at the least. (It's usually to bright for a white background, and looks really ugly if you try to make it darker

A good orange for the Mudcat is #FF 66 00

Azure is #00CCFF
Dark Green is #006600
Dark Red is #CC0000
Pale Green is #00CC99
Palest Green is #CCFFCC, which doesn't show up too well here.
Dark Yellow is #CCCC00
Purple Mud is #663399
Burgundy is #990000"
Hesperis' favorite purple is #990099
If you want more information, as you can see if you look further up in this thread, she says she will be happy to help you out.

Good luck, Carol
