Do A97 color number values reflect some recognized standard?

MLH
I'm wondering if the BackColor property values for
the colors built-in to A97 come from some internationally
recognized standard. I have a list of a hundred or so
colors with hex values and I'm wondering if they are
compatible.

I would like to know if someone has put together a list of color
names and values that match the MS Access color values? I
don't have to have a particularly long list, but the longer the
better. I have a list. I don't think it matches at all...

The Hex values are exactly the same as those used in HTML, since
each pair of Hex digits is an R/G/B color.

Thx for the 'heads up' on that, David. I guess the color names
I have there are way off. A number of the color names simply
do NOT match the color displayed at all. I probably just have
a bad list of names - or maybe I'm color-blinded or just getting
too old to see good.

I put them in an access report, filling in a rectangle with the
color produced by the stated values. They seemed horribly
off to me.

David is correct. Perhaps the following will help you do some tests
for yourself:

I use frmColor with two command buttons and four text boxes.
cmdGetColorValue cmdDecomposeColor

____ ____ ____ __________
R |__| G |__| B |__| <===> Color Value |________|
'Begin code behind form--------
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit

Private Sub cmdDecomposeColor_Click()
Dim lngTemp As Long
Dim lngR As Long
Dim lngG As Long
Dim lngB As Long

lngTemp = CLng(Nz(txtColorValue))
lngB = lngTemp \ 256 \ 256
lngG = (lngTemp Mod 65536) \ 256
lngR = lngTemp Mod 256
txtR.Value = CStr(lngR)
txtG.Value = CStr(lngG)
txtB.Value = CStr(lngB)
End Sub

Private Sub cmdGetColor_Click()
txtColorValue.Value = CStr(CLng(Nz(txtB.Value)) * 65536 +
Nz(txtG.Value) * 256 + Nz(txtR.Value))
End Sub
'End code behind form--------

It lets me pick a RGB colors in Paint to obtain background colors and
allows me to add a bit more blue to an existing background color by
splitting, adjusting and recombining.

Hi David,
WIth HTML color HEX strings the format is RGB. With a standard Long
value(VB) the bytes are ordered BGR and the upper most byte is not used
or left for Transparency etc.

So the OP cannot use a direct HTML color code to set the relevant Color
pop of the control/form. They would have to use String functions to
seperate the HTML color code into its respective RGB components and then
call the RGB function.
If the OP GoogleGroups search on:
lebans system color constant

They will find a very lengthy thread with more information then they
would ever want to know about color and Windows.

Get a black and white monitor.
const Black = 0
const White = 16777215

I must be tired.

One more note. The form code uses decimal numbers such as 255 12 302
for the RGB values. To convert the numbers to hexadecimal instead use
the Hex() function. To convert from letters to numbers you can do
something like:

Public Function HexByteToDecimal(strValue As String) As Integer
Dim strChar1 As String
Dim strChar2 As String
Dim intChar1 As Integer
Dim intChar2 As Integer

'Input check omitted
HexByteToDecimal = 0
strChar1 = Left(strValue, 1)
strChar2 = Right(strValue, 1)
If IsNumeric(strChar1) Then
intChar1 = CInt(strChar1)
Else
intChar1 = Asc(UCase(strChar1)) - Asc("A") + 10
End If
If IsNumeric(strChar2) Then
intChar2 = CInt(strChar2)
Else
intChar2 = Asc(UCase(strChar2)) - Asc("A") + 10
End If
HexByteToDecimal = intChar1 * 16 + intChar2
End Function

Perhaps there's an API function that does this since it's used so
often. I know a HexFromBin API function exists.

Point well taken. I couldn't agree more!
Although I never really decided whether I preferred
green or amber mono's over B/W.

On another note, did you happen to take a look at
my color list??? It must have been compiled by someone
more colorblind than I. For crying out loud - of the first 5
color names in the list, I agree with only one - black.

Anywhere I can get a list of named colors that more
accurately reflect the true color? Granted, I have a
hundred or so in the list, but I'd be happy with fewer.
What I'm trying to get are fairly popular vehicle color
names. Now I know that gets into metallic blue and
other such nonsense - lustres and surface properties
rather than true colors. But, I do need a list badly.

And, BTW, do the colors always look the same when
represented on an open form as they do shown on a
report?

I've not really used colours and constant names since the DOS days when
I had 16 to play with, now there's 24 million (14 million more than the
average human eye can distinguish).

Yes, AFAIK.

BTW Ducati don't supply red touch up paint, I was advised to use Ford,
do you know which Ford red best matches Ducati red?

Ford has 2 that (I think) may be applicable.
Toreador Red (color code FL) and another
(didnt' get the name) code = G2.

I'm getting color match chart & brochure.
Can snail mail if that'll help. Email me offline

Bad news though. The guy was guessing. The Toreador Red is not
even close.
