Although I tested this in Dreamweaver these techniques can be used in verity of image and web editors. To complete this project you are going to need to download a copy of Color Cop. Color Cop is a color picker that lets you isolate colors of digital images down to the pixel level.

With modern monitors able to produce 24 and 32 bit color, that is millions of color variations, web developers really don’t have to worry too much about using web safe colors. Web safe colors were the original 216 pallet of colors that were rendered by the monitors of that time.

All colors are made-up of different variations of three basic colors: Red, Green, and Blue. With Color Cop you can pick any color that you like from web pages or digital images. Using the color picker, pick a color from the page or image and Color Cop will produce RGB values and the hexadecimal number for the color selection. Simply attach the color value to the proper CSS style.

You can customize the color by tweaking the R-G-B values and using the corresponding hexadecimal number like you were directed above.
