Quickie Color Converter Estimation: You'll get very close to the original hue, using these 2 methods. If you're not quite satisfied with what you get--too dark or too blue, or whatever, then try adjusting the individual color codes until you get about what you wanted. FACT: HEX codes have 16 steps: 0-9, a (10), b (11), c (12), d (13), e (14), f (15) RGB: 0-255 steps 255 divided by 15 steps = 17 17 (RGB) = ONE hex step. Method 1: HEX to RGB: Example A: ff 66 33 = 255-102-51 RED: ff = just use 255 in the red box. GREEN: 6 X 17 = 102 BLUE: 3 X 17 = 51 Example B: 33 cc ff = 51-204-255 RED: 3 X 17 = 51 GREEN: 12 X 17 = 204 BLUE: ff = 255 Method 2: fc ed 99 = 229-229-153 RED: fc. f = 15; c = 12. Split the diference = 13.5 RED: 13.5 X 17 = 229 GREEN: ed. e = 14; d = 13. Split the difference 13.5 GREEN: 13.5 X 17 = 229 BLUE: 9 X 17 = 153 When the hex code of a hue is closely split between 2 values, then split the difference on the hex code scale. Or if the difference is really great, then just use the first hex numeral/letter, as that's the stronger channel. To convert from the RGB code to the hex code: Just divide whatever number is showing for each of the values by 17. Then use the chart above. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
