WP theme colors

You can use the same colors as the WP blog if you like; but you have to use numbers rather than names for the colors -- and you have to know how to do it!

[The following sort-of-technical discussion of numbers rather than names for HTML colors is not required reading Wink you can skip ahead if you wish.]

The numbers look strange because they are expressed in hexadecimal, or base 16, where the legal digits are 0-9 and A-F (A=10, B=11, ..., F=15).

Each color is "blended" from three base colors: red, green and blue. The quantities of red, green and blue are defined by two digits for each, in that order.

Black is nothing at all, or "#000000". White is everything: "#FFFFFF". All the other colors are in between, somewhere or other in the three-dimensional palate-space defined this way.

For example:
Red is "#FF0000".
Green is "#00FF00".
Blue is "#0000FF".

We can mix the colors in any proportion:
Red and Green is "#FFFF00". That's yellow and you can't see it very well here.
Green and Blue is "#00FFFF".
Red and Blue is "#FF00FF".

We reduce the values to make the colors darker. For example:
Dark Red is "#7F0000".
Dark Green is "#007F00".
Dark Blue is "#00007F".
Dark Green and Dark Blue is "#007F7F".
Dark Red and Dark Blue is "#7F007F".
Dark Red and Dark Green is "#7F7F00". That's much more legible than "#FFFF00".

There are about 24 million other combinations, and you can use any of them here -- but you cannot change the background, so only some colors will be legible, and I urge you to stick to them, please please please!

Here's the cool part: if you want to be really cold and wintry, kinda snazzy almost (given the circumstances) ...

[drum roll ... ]

The dark red that we use here and at my blogspot site is "#64001A".

The dark blue I use at my site (which to my knowledge is not normally used here) is "#000047".

We now return you to your regularly scheduled de-programming. Wink
