Beginners > Converting colors that aren't web safe.

#49909 - QuantumDoja - Wed Aug 03, 2005 4:35 pm

Hi, I can convert colors from web safe colors fine....eg....#FF00FF, but am having difficulty with other colors that aren't one of the 256 standard colors.....eg.

#3119c3 , #7cbacc and #abcedb when I run these through my convertor they come out in totally different colors when turned into 16bit....

Is this because there are like 16 million colors in 24bit and a load less in 16bit??? urgh.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good color convertor forumla?
