Getting the hexadecimal value for an image...

Discussion in 'Photoshop' started by Submerged, Aug 25, 2006.

    I am working on my new site at http://www.google-central.com. I am attempting to blend my ads a dgood amount, and I think the right edge ads do pretty well at that. However, the left border has a background image that creates the color - it is one solid color, but I don't know the hexadecimal color. Is there any program or website (etc) that can find the hexadecimal value for an image color? Otherwise, maybe someone who is better at this can manually find a closer match than what is currently on the site? Either way would be of great assistance :)

    -Alex

    Ps. I have attached the background image that I want to emulate. The code of the current ad background is #EEDFCC.

    I use an extension on Firefox called colorzilla where i can get the hex codes for any colour on any page.
    The hex for the colour of that image is #E7DAD1
    :)

    Get Irfanview (freeware image viewer) , make a print screen of the are you want, paste it in Irfanview, zoom in, click (and keep button pressed) on the pixel you want the color for and look in the Irfanview title bar. You see there the color in RGB (red,green,blue) format and also in hexadecimal format #123456.

    No, really, it's very easy..Easier than my description.
