When you're adding a color to your Web page with HTML, sometimes you can just type in the name of the color. But more often than not, you'll need to use what's called the hex code, which is something that the browser will be able to understand.

You mean $2EF4BDCC or something like that?
First two characters (except '$') are for transparency (00 = invisible, FF = 100% visible), next two - red, next two - green, last two chars - blue color.

no, it uses 3 colors - two (hex) digits for each
RGB RedGreenBlue
you want orange?  -  $FFF000
FF = full red
F0 = half green
00 = no blue

Uhm, what are these colors for?  Clothing color in soldat?  Scripting text colors?  Polyworks?!
depending on where you use it there may be a 4th number (at the beginning) for transparency...

I figured it out, MM made the codes backwards :/

Date Posted: July 17, 2007, 04:35:59 PM
I understand hexes, mm just placed them in backwards, orange: $000080FF when it should be #FF8000

Date Posted: July 17, 2007, 04:38:04 PM
and zyx, fff000 is this

nice cream color though ;)

actually, it's only cream on the forum BG :P it's more yellow than cream: [color=fff080]this is closer I think[/color]

No, half of a colour is about 88. It's like counting normally.
00,01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,0A,0B,0C,0D,0E,0F
10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,1A,1B,1C,1D,1E,1F
etc.

Medium orange would be something like 888800, and FFF000 is pretty much yellow, since F0 is 6 steps away from full green.

And he really did get the colours backwards... I didn't even realise that. How did that happen anyway?

The skin colour is basically:

(red * 65536) + (green * 256) + blue

where red, green and blue are numeric versions of hex, ie. 0-255.

I have different problems, I made a new profile (soldat profile) and it messed up my skin color, I can't make it green anymore, I restarted my comp, and then it changed to black, HELP! (I deleted the new profile and left my Kavukamari one and it's messed up)

Half of a color is exactly 7F(127). And it's not so much that MM made the colors backwards, it's how delphi handles them internally.

Well it didn't handle them like that before. In 1.3.1, $00FF0000 would give you red, now it gives you blue, and same for the opposite, $000000FF used to be blue, now it's red. Not that I'm complaining or anything. I just wondered why this is.

newer versions of directx trying to be more "user friendly" and messing up game codes in the process?
