If you spend any time playing with blog or website design, you may have the need to find the color HEX CODE to match a particular color in a design scheme ....
This little tool located here: http://www.2createawebsite.com/build/hex-colors.html can make the job quick and painless.
Here's how to use it.
First drag the slider under "hue" until it is in the general color range you need.
Then double click in the large box under "Brightness/Saturation". Begin dragging the cursor around inside the box. Upward and towards the left for lighter, downward and towards the right for darker. As you do this, watch the box labeled "Swatch".
When the color displayed in "Swatch" is the color you want, stop. Look down at the box labeled "Hex". There's your six digit Hex code for the color to copy and paste into the html of your website or blog. You also have the RGB code.
Yes, I know, the Photoshop color picker works the same way, but it is handy to have the tool on line as well.
If you want to have a little more fun, copy the Hex code (without the hash mark #) into the "Choose a Color Scheme" tool and click Update. The tool will generate a few suggested omplimentary colors.
