Linux commonly expresses colors as hexadecimal rgb color codes and color names. Hexadecimal color codes are 6 characters often prefixed by a pound sign (Ex. # 000000). Each pair of characters ranges from 00 to FF (equivalent of 0 to 255). The first two characters represent red, the middle two characters represent green, and the last two characters represent blue. # FF0000 = red # 00FF00 = green # 0000FF = blue # FFFF00 = yellow # FF00FF = magenta # 00FFFF = cyan # 000000 = black # FFFFFF = white Color names are an alternative to hex color codes. Some example color names are red, orchid, and slateblue. ------------------------------- Install: Gpick is a flexible tool for picking colors. gpick less is a command line tool for listing screenfuls of information. less Open Gpick from Menu > Graphics > Gpick Color picker tab = Pick colors: Select color from anywhere on the screen: Click Pick color button > click anywhere on the screen.
