Hexidecimal color not recognised.

[Jammin87]

Hi,

 

I'm using sublime editor to create a css. I want to use the colour: #5c5cd6, a bluish colour. However, the letters are not being recognised in the editor and show as white when they usually turn purply.

 

Any idea's??

 

Thanks,

I think the problem is probably that your editor doesn't highlight values for incorrect property names. The CSS property is "color:" rather than "colour:"

Hi, thanks for the reply.

 

I am using the shorthand css looks something like this:

 

body

{

background: #5c5cd6; etc et.

 

I have checked and the spelling is correct. ("color"). I have worked around it by using the rgb method but it's just bugging me.

Thanks again,

I'm not sure how your text editor works, try using uppercase letters: #5C5CD6
