I searched the forums and found a thread that touched on this issue way back in 2006. I decided to start a new one.

I use VSD and HTML Editor. Together they make a great solution.

I find it frustrating that VSD uses RGB and HTML Editor uses HEX values. I get annoyed when my colors are off and I realize that I punched a RGB value into a HEX field or vice versa

If there is a setting for selecting a default I don't know about it. If there isn't there should be.

Jumping into a 3rd program to make the conversion is inconvenient.

There, I feel better.

Thanks,

There are two ways of doing this.

First let's say you have the RGB value 0, 64, 128, and want to add it to the code... do this:

Just insert the RGB value where the HEX value would normally go with this formatting:



Or if you would like to change it to HEX format from within CoffeeCup HTML editor do this:

1. Click on the color-wheel icon in the toolbar
2. Click the "Define Custom Colors >>" button.
3. Then, simply enter the RGB value in the Red, Green, Blue boxes (Red: 0, Green: 64, Blue: 128)
4. Press "OK" and the Hex code #004080 will be generated for you.

Let me know if you need any more help with this.

Yep that's why the CC Website Color Schemer program is my right hand man!

That has to be one of my big gripes with VSD. I use the Color Schemer to get the hex #s, too.

It seems odd that CC's two main programs use different color designations. Making the conversion isn't difficult just annoying.

Wrong... lol I am the right hand man...

hahaha ok ok so right hand program then!
