Hi all!
I was just wondring if you guys could help me with this.
I don't really understand which color code is used when we need to add a bunch of colors
its not RGB, I mean I tried putting rgb numbers to represent each color to change into but that never worked.
Is there a way to convert html color code or rgb numbers into the one that we'd be able to put into the script in SL.
I'm not a hard core scripter or anything thats why I don't know how to explain it properly
.475,0,0 - red
0,0,0 - black
etc etc
I just want to know what the rest of the color codes like this is you know.
Thats what i need help with
Hope you all can help me.
Thank you!

Divide each RGB number by 255 to get them into LSL style.

So RGB 255,255,255 becomes <1,1,1> etc.

There are a couple of useful functions someone contributed on the main Wiki page on "color" that will calculate these for you if you prefer to work with RGB numbers.
