How about BlanchedAlmond? Me either. I&#8217;m not a big fan of the <a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.color.aspx" target="_blank">System.Drawing.Color</a> structure in the Microsoft .NET Framework. I don&#8217;t think the addition of color names makes good framework design sense. Unless you&#8217;re an Interior Designer; the majority of <a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.color_properties.aspx" target="_blank">these</a> colors won&#8217;t make sense to you either.</p> <p>I&#8217;ve recently spent time reworking a few design elements of an ASP.NET website. All design related ASP.NET attributes were replaced with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascading_Style_Sheets" target="_blank">Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)</a> 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.</p> <p><a href="http://www.opinionatedgeek.com/DotNet/Tools/Colors/default.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.opinionatedgeek.com/DotNet/Tools/Colors/default.aspx</a></p> Wed, 16 Apr 2008 16:29:00 -0700 urn:uuid:639ae4c8-8229-4ae4-83da-ae27bffdeb7d Ryan Baxter http://crunchlife.com/articles/2008/04/16/system-drawing-color-hex-values Expect the Unexpected ASPNET dotNET http://crunchlife.com/articles/trackback/54
