I’ve been working on a newsletter from Mail Chimp, which offers a free email service. For the basic service, they allow users a certain limited amount of colors within their templates of their WYSIWYG editor.
The color I’d been looking for to compliment my newsletter wasn’t one that was offered. Yet, I noticed they gave the hexadecimal code alongside the color block, so I thought… why not replace the code with the color I wanted?
After finding hexadecimal color charts online at html-color-codes.com, I began plugging in other codes and to my surprise it worked.
As silly and simple as this little task may be, I was glad I read about RGB values and hexadecimal codes in The Non-Designers Web Book prior to my design attempts.
It allowed me to get the color I wanted instead of settling for what was offered.
