Use my link table below and go to one of the great color charts listed to find an almost perfect color for your text, web page background or table background..The keyword is almost. Once you find a color that is close to what you had in mind, you can adjust it, to get the perfect color.

How???, by learning the RGB hex color code..With over 6,000,000 possible colors, you will find that perfect color. Most color charts will give you the name of the color and the code.

example: color; black code; #000000

The code has six digits. the first two control the intensity of Red, the second two, Green, and the last two, Blue (R-G-B, get it?). Now here's where most people get thrown. these pairs are not your usual ten digit numbers, they're base 16.

0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f, then 10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,1a,1b,1c,etc.et c.etc. on up to ff.

That goes for each pair, so "#000000 would be zero intensity of all colors, or black. "#ffffff" full intensity for all colors, or white. "#ff0000" would be full intensity for red only, zero for the others, so the color would be bright red. The same applies for green and blue. Still with me?

Mixing different intensities of two or three colors will produce different hues and shades. #a52a2a, for example, will result in brown...If you want to experiment with only one color, say blue, a lower number #000044, would produce a darker blue, whereas a higher number #000099 would produce a lighter, brighter, more intense blue

Here's an example. Say you want a purple background for your webpage. You've gone to a color chart and found a purple (#700070) that is almost perfect, but needs to be just slightly more blue. You can either lower the red (#500070) or raise the blue (#700090). Either way, you'll have the color you want....lowering the red will give you a darker version of your color, raising the blue will give you a brighter version....also, if you want a more muted, subtle version, you can add a little green (#502270) or (#702290)

If you practice and experiment alot, in time you won't need color charts at all....enjoy...
