HTML recognizes colors by a series of six digit combinations. For example,
black is referred to as "#000000", and white is "#ffffff". This is where
combatibility plays a major part. Not a single monitor will project a color
exactle the same as another monitor. There will always be slight variations
because of monitor settings. It's best to avoid colors with complex combinations,
however, there can be exceptions to the rule.
To add colors to your website, go to a graphics program like Paint Shop Pro.
There should be an option where it will tell you a six digit HTML code for
any color you select. For example, if you click on the color swatches on
the right-hand menu of Paint Shop Pro, the color wheel will pop up. Just
above the "Okay" button, you'll see a six digit number; that's the HTML code.
