holmedwa04 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 When I set the background for a cell to CCCCCC, and then I set the background of the actual image on an image editing program to CCCCCC, when I look at the image in the cell, there is a difference in colours. Why do you think this is.This is the page herePlease can you help me, because it is really bugging me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronthenoob Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 try changing your background color to#C0C0C0I took a screenshot, and that is the color that is in the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 The image editor is probably only saving a limited number of colors, or it is using a websafe palette or something like that. That image is 650x650 and saved as a gif, which only supports 256 colors, so it might be approximating. But there is probably a setting in your image editing program to choose which palette to use when exporting. What program are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought CCCCCC was part of the 256 colours anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack McKalling Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 If you would use msPaint, you can't check what hexcode a certain color is, unfortunately. Other programs though. But with paint you do can check what RGB() value you could use, those are also allowed online. So you would not need to download a certain program to check a color to match backgrounds, paint can do it already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronthenoob Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 This might happen a lot, and my fix was just a quick thing you can use once, but if it happens a lot more, it'd be smart to ignore me and listen to justsomeguy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
