Hexadecimal RGB Colour Chart
The following chart shows 216 non-dithering browser safe colours. Dithering means that certain colours become "scattered" in some browsers and make your page look scruffy.The six number code on each of these colours is the one you would put in your HTML code for changing the colour of your background or text.

eg <BODY BGCOLOR="#0000FF">

These colours are made up of 6 (hex) letters or numbers arranged in 3 pairs and they represent the RGB values (red, green, blue).

00
33
51
66 102
99 153
CC 204
FF 255


If your colour from the hex chart is FFCC00 your conversion would be 255, 204, 00. The first 2 letters or numbers are the red value (R), the second 2 letters or numbers are the green value (G), and the third 2 letters or numbers are the blue value (B).

Colour Slider
If you want a colour other than the ones on the RGB hex chart, create your own using this colour slider. Slide the bars around until you find your colour, and the 6 digit hex code will show up under the words "HTML." The slider also gives you the RGB value.
