new HTML HEX color combinations chart
 

I've just set up a new HTML HEX Color combinations chart on MuseMixer.

http://www.musemixer.com/HTML-Colors/

Whille I could find lots of nice HTML color charts, I couldn't find
one that showed combinations.

Just for kicks, years ago, I wrote a BASIC program that had a box within a
box and each box randomly changed colors.
Then I added other boxes to really make a show of colors.

You could probably easily do the same thing with php or javascript.

My mother thought that would be a good way to show which colors worked well
with other colors.

Now if you really want to get fancy, have 2 menu boxes where the user enters
hex numbers.
Then show only the 2 hex colors side by side.

Handy :-)
One request though: can you make the hex numbers on the second page
clickable too? Saves going back to the first page to try a new colour.

I have something similar to this on the bottom of one of my pages -
http://www.cryer.co.uk/resources/jav...ByColourNumber.
This lets you enter two colours by hex and shows how foreground text in one
colour sits on background text of another.

Works nicely in IE, but doesn't do anything in FF?

Aaarr! or should that be oops!

I'll look into it .. its such an old page there is a lot I need to do to
update it, it still has "font" tags all over it. Well, it won't soon!

Thanks Els.

I kept quiet about that, and then you're voluntarily and publicly
admitting that?? <g>

Good :-)

Good idea, I'm still working on that interface.

Actually, I was thinking of having the accent color hex link to a
third page that would show the primary next to thay accent along with
yet another set of accent colors. Could be useful if you wanted three
colors.

That's pretty neat. Just shows you how many ways there are to display
color data. Seemed like just a straightforward chart when I
originally thought of creating the page...

Neat... be nicer still if it the display area could bit bigger
(perhaps a link to where it could be bigger without mucking up
your page).
