When using color on Web pages, you have to use hex codes, but most graphics programs describe colors as RGB. But it's simple to convert an RGB code into a hexadecimal triplet for your Web page.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 5 minutes
Here's How:
- Choose an RGB color you would like to convert. For example, a golden yellow in RGB is (177,102,0).
- Open calculator II.
- Enter the first number in the RGB code into the calculator. In my example, that would be 177.
- Click on the HX button.
- Record the code that appears as your first two digits of your hex-triplet. In my example, that would be B1.
- Repeat with the two remaining RGB codes. For my example, I get 66 and 00. My resulting hexadecimal code is #B16600.
Tips:
- I strongly recommend you only use browser-safe colors. These are colors that display accurately on more browsers and platforms.
What You Need:
- Macintosh Calculator
