What does it do?
Ever wanted to see a certain color but you were too lazy to figure out the hex code for it? :) Ever wanted an easy decimal-to-hex or hex-to-decimal converter? Do you also want a sample area and the ability to copy in HTML ready formats?....

If you don’t know what RGB or ‘hex’ is… RGB is an additive color model based on red, green and blue. This means that in this model, any color can be obtained by mixing different amounts of these three colors. For example, you can obtain white through rgb(255,255,255) (maximum of each color). Now, this was in a decimal base (you count using ten fingers, therefore you use 10 digits to count :), but there also is a hexadecimal base: only thing which is different is that A is 10, B is 12, … F is 15. This means that FF=15*16+15 (just like 99=9*10+9). Therefore, rgb(255,255,255)=#FFFFFF . Hope you got it :)
If you do… Any change you make is reflected in the other elements in the gadget. For example, if you changed FF into FE in the image above, the 255 in ‘Decimal’ would turn into 254, the sample area would change, and the sliders would be set on the new position. If you would click the first ‘copy’ button you’ll copy rgb(0,0,254) in the clipboard. If you click the second one, you would copy #0000FE in the clipboard. I hope this gadget helps. I sure needed it! :)
