  Hi, where can i find the colour code in my theme so that i can duplicate it in photoshop?

  I’m colour-blind so i can’t do it by eye.

  Or is there a photoshop plug-in i can buy that allows me to use the p/shop eyedropper tool on websites?

  i need it so i can make a border on my image so that the img separates from text in text wrap.

  thanks, colin

  If you take a screenshot of the blog and paste it into photoshop you will be able to grab the colour code from the palette when changing the colours.

  Let me know if this makes no sense and I will try and provide some screenshots.

  Yeah, screenshots would work with the eyedropper…or having both your theme in your browser and photoshop open at the same time and sized so you can see both at the same time on the screen would work too….I did that when matching up the greens in my home site.

  You’re looking for a hexidecimal value like #000000 or #0f30a1 it’s always a 6 digit number between 0 and 9 or a – f. I’m sure there is a colour wheel online somewhere but I cant remember the site…..it let’s you pick a colour via pointing at it…and gives you the hexidecimal value, which you then use as an EXACT setting.

  Be interesting if you could find that site. Save me loads of hassle doing the method I described above. I do that regularly!

  There is a color picker ext to Firefox as well. And a very good one built into KDE in Linux. :)

  Try this site

  http://wellstyled.com/tools/colorscheme2/index-en.html

  It does not ring a bell as the one I found a while back, but it may have been redesigned.

  This one looks familiar (and appears to be the easiest to use)

  http://gmazzocato.altervista.org/colorwheel/wheel.php

  Or this one for a look at how colors work with each other

  Between those 3, you should be sorted….enjoy!!

  It’s worth pointing out that make sure your image is set to RGB in Photoshop….so the RGB values match.
