How to use this table: We assume that you have three numbers, each 0 to 255. The first number represents Red, the second number represents Green, and the third number represents Blue. To use this table, choose first the section of the table wich has a RED value closest to the first number. Then go down the left side until to get to a GREEN value which is closest to your second number. Then go across to find the BLUE value which is closest to the third number. The color of that rectangle is the closest we can get to the color represented by your three numbers. Note that computer monitors vary a great deal and colors will not be a good match
Examples:
Suppose that the three numbers are 255, 51, and 204. Go to the Red = 255 section, then down the left side to Green = 51, and across to B=204. The rectangle will be colored thus:
| B=204 |
Suppose that the three numbers are 102, 102, and 102. Go to the Red = 102 section, then down the left side to Green = 102, and across to B = 102. The rectange will be colored thus:
| B=102 |
Note that when two of the colors have the value 0 and the third has the value 255, the result is the pure color of the one which is not zero. If all three colors have the same value, the result is black (if they are all zero), gray (if they each have an intermediate value), or white (if each is 255).
Red = 255 | Red = 204 | Red = 153 | Red = 102 | Red = 51 | Red = 0
