It _is_ rather frustrating. I convert Gif to Sprite using
WebGif and check the colour values against Paint. Then input
these into !Colours to get the "#,,,," (hex-triplet) value.
Inputting colours into Artworks, Martin has added the
facillity to create a new colour by typing "#" followed by the
hex-triplet values into the dialog box to create a new colour.
(What would be great is for an additional icon giving the
hex-triplet value of the colour in the "Edit Colour" RGB
window and for it to change as the colour value sliders are
moved or values entered.
Also dropping a bitmap into Artworks for it to generate new
colours in the same way as drawfiiles do.)
