The Color Tester
Welcome to a simple Color Tester I borrowed from Geocities!
You can test different colors here using the hex-system
that HTML uses to display colors onscreen. The hex-system
is base-16 (hexadecimal), using the digits "0123456789abcdef".
0-9 tells the computer how much gray you want,
and a-f tells it how much color you want to use.
A normal HTML-color can look something like this: ff0000 That is the code for the red of this background.
The first two digits tell the computer how much red you
want to use, the second two how much green, and the last
two how much blue you want. Here I use the maximum amount
of red I can use (ff) and nothing (00) of the green and blue.
So the color you get will be red.
To use this little script is very simple, you just write a
hex-number using the HTML-standard for displaying colors,
and click the button "Change Color".
Write the names of colors and see what appears (i.e. "magenta, cornsilk, hepplewhite, saturnalia").
You may, if you wish, attempt to create words from the alphabetical hex digits (such as "accede", which yields a nice periwinkle [or old-lady-hair-dye-shade, if you prefer]).
