| Color Center | This site lets you play with the background color, text and link
colors. You can try a background and then see what text colors go well
with that background. You can get the color readout as hexadecimal,
decimal or percent. If you have a value in any of those formats, you can
also enter it to see how it displays (i.e., what color it is!) . Another
feature for the terminally lazy is the display of the body tag
corresponding to your current color choices, so if you want you can just
copy and paste into your document. Of course, that isn't much help if
you are creating a style sheet... |

This site is good if you are just browsing to see what colors display
well. The site has a grid of the 8-bit colors-ones that should work on
all browsers. Move the cursor over the color you like and it tells you
the hexadecimal (RGB) and decimal color numbers. It shows the color
gradations clearly, so you can see all of the different shades of blue
right next to each other and compare. |
| Get Hexed | If you have the decimal representation of a color and you need the
hexadecimal (and don't want to convert by hand), you should visit Get
Hexed. This is particularly good if you have been working with a
graphics/paint program (such as Paint Shop Pro) and want to match
something (background or text) on your page to a color in the graphic.

Web Developer's Virtual Library | This isn't really color-related, but the site does have a lot of links to graphics and background images. Some of the listed sites are better than others, but there are enough to choose from to keep you busy for a while. Note that many of the sites ask you to give credit or link back to them when you use your graphics. |
