BlankHi, More information on RGB colours are found at http://www.web-source.net/216_color_chart.htm Note that the site says: To ensure your colors will be displayed to most Internet users as you had intended, you should always select your colors from the 216 web safe colors, as displayed in the 216 web safe color chart below. When using colors within your HTML, you can also use the actual color "word" for basic colors such as black, white, red, green, blue and yellow. Your color code might look something like this: BGCOLOR="RED" The site then lists the RGB values for the 216 web safe colours. These are colours that are recognised as being displayed as intended across various browsers.

I have been working on those rgb colour values as i mentioned putting them in afile each for colours beginning with a certain letter i.e. i now have a folder with 20 filesin it with titles , a colours, b colours etc i have still some fine tuning to do but i can post them now if no one has any objections on list to 20 odd file attachments! this because some of us are a bit hazy on compressing zipping and unzipping things. alternatively i can send them to who ever off list. again though i would repeat that in an exam punching in rgb colour codes takesup vital seconds and most tutors will, if you know the route that petrina described earlier, just click on the colour for you. having said this though it is another task that is possible for visually impaired persons to do independantly if necessary and certainly one could use it 'out of exams' keep the faith Paul H
