Any graphics editing program shuld tell you the rgb values of any colour, even microsoft paint will do it. Just go into the colour picker and click a colour and you'll see the rgb values for that colour in the little boxes in the lower right of the window.

For that matter, SL has that built in when you change the color of an object.

This script will report the color of a primtive every time the color of that primtive chages color. It will report the color in vector form. <0.0,0.0,0.0>

CODE
default
{
changed ( integer change )
{
if ( change == CHANGED_COLOR )
{
llSay ( 0, (string)llGetColor(ALL_SIDES) );
}
}
}

Now I'm going to have to look at my editor, I cannot remember seeing any HTML type RBG colors in there... is there a program that converts the ranges of 00-FF for the vector type colors?

I know the vector colors are in the range of 0.0 to 1.0 for each of the primary colors, so if you make a scale where 0.0 = 00 on the bottom, and 1.0 = FF then you can make a direct relationship of that website.

By the way, there are literally thousands of websites out there that have help for teh HTTP/Website type colors. Come to think of it, "thousands" is probably an underwhelming estimate of how many there are!

Yes, they give you the number for the colour you pick ...

But what I want and what that great chart gives is a whole big visual slew of colours and numbers all at once.


So say I want a certain shade of grey or blaque well, well, I click and click and click in world and scream noooooooooooo !

I then go out and view this chart, see the shade I want, grab those numbers and woooT !

I am a happy vamp :)

all cats are grey in the darque..... but..... :rolleyes:

By the way, in the scripting library there is a script that tells what the colors are and textures.

Discovering how RGB works in SL
12-10-2004 10:02
When I first started scripting, it was originally a revelation to me that RGB values are translated into values between 0.0 and 1.0 in the vectors that are supplied to functions like llSetColor() .... At first glance that seems daunting, but it's actually not.... if you want to code a particular color, just get to the texture tab of an object, click on the color, and use the color picker to find the color you want.. Then, take those RGB values (0-255), and plug them into an llSetColor function dividing each number by 255. to get the 0.0 to 1.0 LSL vector range. (or use Kurt Zidane's very simple and elegant way of getting the object to tell you, -- see his above post.).

It seems silly that there is no llSetRGBColor() function that will do this for you, but that's LL for you, .... there are things that are just not handed to you on a silver platter! :)
