color help please...

[Mickie]

I'm looking for a couple of colors to use with 2 given colors on a web page. The colors will be used along with their counterparts at a tint of 50%. Below is what I have come up with so far, any better suggestions?

I realize that orange would be a lodgical choice, but they don't want oranges or yellows.

TIA,

Mickie

YUP, it worked, WHEW!!! It created a set that I haven't seen before, very muted colors, I plan on using it myself [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

OH yea, I used the Green color (0,135,81) as the start color since that was the one with the little notation of "must use" above it!! The purple shade was included in that palette as well. Or something that is really close, check it out [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Hope this helps you Mickie [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

RAMWolff Thanks. I had already made a similar palette (and I agree there are some nice tones in the palette), but am having trouble limiting it to two more colors. The purple and green have to be those exact shades.

BTW,
Brian's Xpal is a wonderful tool and can be found here

in the XaraXone

Doh, I don't know if I was being stupid but the values you gave for the green and purple - should I have been able to put them into xara? sorry if that is a stupid question but I couldn't suss it out. Had to use the colour picker so they probably aint came out quite right (also have posted my suggestions as a gif...don't know if that's quite right either!!)

anyway as I said, just my tuppence worth.

Thanks Mags

I find it interesting that you went from the blues to the reds. I started with reds and just couldn't quite get it. I'll play with your ideas.

The numbers under the colors are the rgb values of the colors I used.

Glad to have been of some help (for once!).

ref: the values - the colour editor, rgb colour model I have is shown as %, out of interest, is there a way to convert the colours you gave into xara colour model as %?

Change color values like this.

[Mickie]

Utilities — options — units — color units 0-255.

Most people seem to use the 0-255 values rather than %. I think that should be the xara defualt...maybe in the next version.
