Colour Picker
for html codes

Have you ever wanted to find just the right colour
and then reproduce it
as a font or background colour in a web-page?
Here is the answer -
Firstly, a Java applet that gives you the code for any colour and shade.
And secondly, a script that coverts hex values to decimal values and vice versa and shows the colour as the background of the page.

Java applet is here.
Please use Java enabled browser.

I cannot recall where this came from but it was a free download
so you are welcome to copy and use it.
Its location is

You will also need to download the file

which gives the simple instructions on how use it.

Hex Code is:

The above can be useful for checking text colours against a particular coloured background.
This is how some of the main colours look -
(you can change the background using the above javascript) -
This is how each main colour looks. - 000000

Decimal to Hex Colours

Alternatively, if you don't have Java and you need to convert to Hex codes from decimal,
I have produced the following table which should help -

(Just look at FF to F0 to get an idea of the pattern,
so, for example, DE is one less than DF, i.e. 222

FF - 255 FE - 254 FD - 253 FC - 252 FB - 251 FA - 250 F9 - 249 F8 - 28 F7 - 247 F6 - 246 F5 - 245 F4 - 244 F3 - 243 F2 - 242 F1 - 241 F0 - 240
EF - 239 E0 - 224 DF - 223 D0 - 208 CF - 207 C0 - 192 BF - 191 B0 - 176 AF - 175 AA - 170 A0 - 160 9F - 159 99 - 153 8F - 143 89 - 137 7F - 127 79 - 121 6F - 111 69 - 105 5F - 95 59 - 89 4F - 79 49 - 73 3F - 63 39 - 57 2F - 47 29 - 41 1F - 31 19 - 25 10 - 16 0F - 15 0E - 14 0D - 13 0C - 12 0B - 11 0A - 10 09 - 9 08 - 8 07 - 7 06 - 6 05 - 5 04 - 4 03 - 3 02 - 2 01 - 1 00 - 0
