System.Drawing.Color Hex Values
Posted by Ryan Baxter Wed, 16 Apr 2008 23:29:00 GMT
Do you know the hexidecimal value of PapayaWhip? How about BlanchedAlmond? Me either. I’m not a big fan of the System.Drawing.Color structure in the Microsoft .NET Framework. I don’t think the addition of color names makes good framework design sense. Unless you’re an Interior Designer; the majority of these colors won’t make sense to you either.
I’ve recently spent time reworking a few design elements of an ASP.NET website. All design related ASP.NET attributes were replaced with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) where applicable. Unfortunately the website was spattered with named colors from the System.Drawing.Color structure. To help replace these named colors with hexadecimal values, I found the following resource extremely helpful.
