...Pantone is a print Spec...other than in graphics, otherwise the info you seek is buried in a image file....

Both things I failed to mention.

So you might need to convert the Hex to RGB!

I think you meant to say "convert the hex to decimal". AFAIK, the hex *is* an RGB expression, first two bytes are the Red value, second two are the Green & last two are the Blue.

Precisely - see http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1781159&postcount=4 (code actually irrelevant to this thread but I didn't know that at the time).

Bryony - congratulations!! (forgot that in earlier post )

Greg, you are so presise!!

I actually did mean "convert hex to RGB"... but not in the math sense. I should have qualified my remark...
Yopu see, in Photoshop the RGB values are expressed as three sets of numbers 0-255. There may be a decimal RGB value, I really don't remember... So to my "logic", I would plug the Hex value in and it would give me the equivilant three RBG values, thus "converting" them!!
I bet there is a online conversion somewhere too. Photoshop would just be able to get the RGB from the image itself.

And I sit corrected, you are absolutly right that the hex is representative of the RGB values in the web world. I did most of my work for print and less for web...



Bryony, my offer still stands.


EDIT:Had to look up AFAIK

VoG: I just learned something new about this forum, you can link to single posts! Shiny.
