I wanted to name this post "Color Me Gone" but that would not be a very good description, plus not many people would get it...that was the name of an infamous '60's drag car...

OK...on to HTML color codes--most people these days have computers that will display millions of colors, I'd say. My question is: can you name, say a text color, using the RGB values even though that value doesn't show up on most color charts. In other words is there some type of formula for translating RGB values to HTML color code? The specific code I'm looking for is for 158,148,123 according to Paint Shop Pro.

Thanks,
DD

Just convert the decimal-based numbers to hexidecimal.
158 = 9E
148 = 94
123 = 7B
So your color code would be #9E947B.
