Is there a color name to RGB and/or HEX resource?

[imaginemn]

Any one know of a resource where I can find or possibly buy a color to RGB and/or HEX values?

For example: If I want to know the RGB numbers for the color platinum. What would they be?

I've seen many HEX to RGB and RGB to HEX but not a color to HEX/RGB.


Thanks in advance.

What you could do is get a color picking software program such as "Pixie". Then, point to any color on the screen, and it will give the RGB and Hex values.

Pixie is the best thing i've used for that, although if you load photo shop, select the ink dropper tool, click and hold on your canvas then drag anywhere on the screen, PS still changes to that colour in it's palette.

Didn't know about that. Thanks

Not sure how "standard" these names/values are, hope it helps.

Thanks everyone. I am looking more for what Atom posted, but a more extensive list. Sometimes someone will email some goofy color to change and I have nothing to reference. I didn't realize how hard it is to match the color platinum.

In reference to http://www.webwhirlers.com/colors/co...s.asp#platinum ,

I see that some people have added some rather strange definitions to a given color name (it is a dynamic database). It seems that there are no rules for adding a definition to the database, very strange .. but I think that there are some good definitions there (ones that make sense to me, anyway), it's too bad there are so many different interpretations for certain color names though, seems rather unruly, like .. they show 000000 for a color name that is not black, it appears, and also a color under a name that it obviously does not belong under. I don't understand that at all unless maybe it is just a case of, as I said, no rules for definitions (other than duplicate entries, I imagine). I don't know, maybe I just don't understand the damned thing!. Oh well ..

That roulette wheel (spin the colour wheel) is kind of fun. The "add definition" is kind of neet, too.

edit: now that I think about it, I suppose it is actually better to have no rules at all than even one (aside from the obvious duplicate entry), to form an unbiased database.
