Found this great page for looking up colors and their respective codes for those web applications we all use from time to time. Real nifty for that budding webmaster in all of us!
It’s called the 4096 Color Wheel and it’s easy to use. Just hover your mouse’s cursor over the wheel somewhere and the color will be displayed below with these three perspectives:
- Web-Safe
- Web-Smart
- Unsafe
Hover over the square to change saturation (left to right) and value (bottom to top) of the last hue.
Use the keyboard to rotate hue:
j rotates slowly counterclockwise,
k rotates quickly clockwise, and
l rotates slowly clockwise.
Jump to a primary or secondary color: red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, or yellow. The enter key will also add the current color to the pick list.
Just what we need for those quicky checks for color codes, shades and blends for our sites.
