RGB Values of Word Color Pallette

[cbcrocker]

Can anyone share the RGB values of the standard Word (Powerpoint, Excel,
etc.) color pallette? I keep reading about the pallettes being RGB but I
can't find their values anywhere. Maybe I've just not dug deep enough.

Usually when you create a object, fill, more fill colors, custom tab, the values
are listed.

Try a color picker. This is a free, small utility.

Hi C.B.,

You didn't mention the version of Office you're using. The 2007 version has sort of a twist on what 'standard' can be <g>.

The original 16 choices, shown in the 'Highlighter' tool (top to bottom, left to right) are

RGB Hex RGB Decimal Color Names
======== =========== ============
n/a n/a None

#FFFF00 255/255/000 Yellow*
#FF0000 255/000/000 Red*
#8B0000 139/000/000 Dark Red*

#00FF00 000/255/000 Bright Green(Lime)*
#00008B 000/000/139 Dark Blue(Navy)*
#808000 128/128/000 Dark Yellow(Olive)*

#00FFFF 000/255/255 Turquoise(Aqua)*
#008080 000/128/128 Teal*
808080 128/128/128 Gray-50%(Gray)*

#FF00FF 255/000/255 Pink(Fuschia)*
#008000 000/128/000 Green*
#C0C0C0 192/192/192 Gray-25%(Silver)*

#0000FF 000/000/255 Blue*
#800080 128/000/128 Violet(Purple)*
#FFFFFF 255/255/255 Black

The 40 choices in the Font, line and fill color dialogs are (top to bottom left to right in the dialog) listed below. Where a color name appears in parentheses it is a web color name (not always the same as the Word tooltip color name. Word uses those parenthetical names internally in it's web page work for compatibility, as well as the asterisked standard names.

Thanks Bob! That's what I'm looking for.

Bob (or anyone else),

Do you know where I could find the hex & RGB values for the gray scale fills
found in the paint bucket palette? There're around 23 of them.

Hi C.B.,

You still haven't mentioned the Word version you're using. These are from the pre 2007 color picker choices. There are 256 grayscale shades.

If you're referring to the items that are 'set apart' hexagon grey selections in the 'More Colors', there are 16 'presets', listed here
from lightest to darkest (Note that Word generally counts the values as rounded to the nearest 5%.

Hex RGB Decimal RGB Shading/Name
#FFFFFF 255/255/255 Gray-00%(White)
#F8F8F8 248/248/248 Gray-03%
#EAEAEA 234/234/234 Gray-08%
#DDDDDD 221/221/221 Gray-13%
#C0C0C0 192/192/192 Gray-25%(Silver)
#B2B2B2 178/178/178 Gray-30%

Sorry, it's 2003. Our company hasn't upgraded to 2007 yet. They were going to
but cancelled the initiative as cost savings. With 50,000+ employees you can
imagine the costs. Anyway, thanks once again for the input.
