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

Roger, I made a mistake on the Red. It should read "#FF 00 00".

Carol, I've just spotted what is a mistake in your previous post. You have described red correctly in your text but you should have quoted FF 00 00 as the value.

I take it, then, that quotes are optional here. I always knew that you couldn't mix it, and I thought that some sites didn't recognise the 'non quotes' format.

Ha ha. Two less characters to type.
My day is made.

And as always, thank you Joe, and Pene, and persons unknown, for being the silent ones behind our screens, who do the cyber leg work and the troubleshooting, and tighten those virtual nuts and bolts.

There's a link to all of this stuff in the Mudcat FAQ, but it's - br - surrounded by <'s,.... well you've figured that out. Do the same, except with - p - and you have a paragrarh break.

Like that. Otherwise just hit return twice.

Like that.

Please don't use the <p> when posting lyrics. Also use <br><br> when posting lyrics, rather than the carriage returns. It makes life much easier for the lyrics harvesters.

Just for clarification, Pene.
Do you mean that 'p' should not be used at all in posting lyrics, like for instance, when separating verses?

What difficulties do you come up with when 'harvesting' them? (great term!)

What other practices would you suggest we adhere to to make the job a bit easier for you?

Subject: RE: html practice thread 1/2000
From: Pene Azul

Brendy, I'm not a harvester myself, but according to Joe, you should not use the <p>, but use <br><br> instead. I find it easiest to put a <br> at the end of each line and another between verses. Joe recently posted this guide on posting lyrics.

23 Aug 00 - 12:51 AM (#283025)
Subject: RE: html practice thread 1/2000
From: Brendy

Yeah, I saw that, Pene. I was more wondering about the - br - br - vs - p - thing, though. And of course, any other things that might be un forseen.

At least I know, now. Any time I've posted lyrics, I've normally used - p -.

Those days are over. *BG*

Try using the word "blue" in between the quotes instead of the hex code, Mr. H. It's easier.

If you insist on using hexadecimal try this site.

When you use the letters & numbers, it's called a 'hex' code. It's called that because there are 6 of them.

Here's a page with some explanation and codes for some colors. I kind of like tomato and turquoise. If course, I see that typing the words tomato and turquoise works too. There's crimson, and springgreen, and aquamarine, coral, cornflowerblue... you could go crazy!

Dang! All this time, I thought it meant it was a hexadecimal number system, built on a base of 16....I think it was invented by alien mutants who had 16 fingers instead of ten.

Or does it have to do with a witch's hex?

An Amish hex?

When you use the letters & numbers, it's called a 'hex' code. It's called that because there are 6 of them.

Wrong. First, it's not & but # for the color codes, second, as Joe already said, it's called hex code as abbreviation of hexadecimal code.
In HTML, you always use 6 digits, but in CSS, there are situations where you use 3 digits only (and it is still called hex code).
e.g: <span style="background-color:#fed; color:#930; border-width:3px; border-style:solid; border-color:#f9f #9ff #369 #6fc;">some funny colors</span> which looks like some funny colors

(when there are only three hex digits, the value is interpreted as if each digit had been written twice: #fed ==> #ffeedd, #930 ==> #993300, #f9f ==> #ff99ff, #9ff ==> #99ffff, #369 ==> #336699, #6fc ==> #66ffcc ...)

Subject: RE: html practice thread 1/2000
From: Linda Goodman Zebooker

The Hex code colors website that Jeri mentioned on 23 Aug 05 - 10:09 PM came in real handy today. I saw this thread on November 12, and I wrote down and saved her blue clicky.

Today, as is one of my duties, I was editing my Reform Jewish Regional Office's (in Washington DC) website. Our organization's North American Headquarters in New York City has given us an easy-to-use website editor package, but they have also imposed some pretty restrictive "style" rules.

We my use ONLY Arial, for example, no graphics in the background, and a 180-color pallette selection box for type or background colors. We aren't really supposed to use any color backgrounds.

But in the announcement I was making for one of the upcoming classes we administer, I really wanted something to set off the text. It's a marriage-preparation class (you can quitcher giggling, now) and our "signature" color for the class's flyers, etc. is pink.

Pink's not even remotely one of the colors in our official pallette, but in the editor's dialog box, as well as a place to select a preset color, there's also a place to type. Aha!, I thought. I went to the website Jeri gave, found pink was FFC0CB, typed it in the box, and, voila...an appropriately sappy shade of pink appeared behind my text. We can edit our site's html, but I wouldn't have known how to figure it out.

No doubt our web-police will find my color one of these days and delete it, but meantime, it's fun to have up there.

THANKS MUDCAT! (& Jeri)
