boen_robot Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) What are you talking about? In paint go to Colors\Edit Colors...\Define Custom Colors>>. On the most right part of the windows You'll see three fields: Red, Green and Blue. Where is the yellow color you speak of? Maybe some really old version of paint?

Jonas Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 He's not talking about MS Paint. Regular painting, you know, on a piece of paper. :)Actually, we use lots of color systems for different things:RGB system (internet, computers)CMYK system (printers)Regular paint colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Err Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 is it right to spell color, "colour"? or is it how other countries spell it (outside of the U.S). Now, that's something they never taught me in school. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johneva Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Yep that is something us brits need to remember when doing any coding that in coding we need to use the US spelling of colour. It is well strange at first cos we want to sell it as colour but carnt then we go to the other extreame and always spell it like the US.My spelling is naf anyways so spelling colour as color all the time is not a big deal.

Little Goat Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I don't think it is the same in CSS, I remember trying it once and it didn't give me what I wanted. LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulpfiction Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I think LG is correct, if you had used named colors then there is difference like "LightGrey - d3d3d" and "DarkGray - a9a9a9" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
