Using RGB Lab

First you select one of the six color marks at the top of the main

window. Then you set the

color of the selected color mark.

There are several ways to set the color of a color mark. One way is to

type the RGB

values, decimal or hexadecimal, and click on the Set

button.

Another way is to use the scroll bars to the right in the main window.

Yet another way is to

click on the color bar below the color marks.

You can also drag and drop from the selected

color mark to any pixel

on the screen, the way you do with many other color pickers, if you

check Color Pick Mode on the Edit menu.

The fastest way to set the color of the selected color mark is to click

on a color in the

Websafe palette, Failsafe palette, or JavaScript

palette. Point at one of the color in one of

the palettes, and you will

see information about that color. Click on Copy From Color Mark

and

Paste From Color Mark on the Edit menu if you want to copy and paste

a color from

one color mark to another.

Naming the color

Once you have set the color of a color mark, you can, if you wish,

write a color name

above it. Replace the default text with a color

name of your own choice.

If there are JavaScript color in your palette, RGB Lab can name them

automatically for

you. Click on Find JavaScript Names on the Edit

menu.

Saving the colors in the form of a text file

When your work is done, you can save the six colors and their names

in a text file. Click on

Save Palette As... on the File menu.

Opening saved files

You can open a saved file in RGB Lab to view the six colors and their

RGB colors codes,

or in Notepad, if you only want to view the RGB

color codes. Click on Open Palette In RGB

Lab... or Open Palette In

Notepad... on the File menu. (Click Ctrl+

Opening new files

If you want to start all over again, click on New Palette on the File

menu.

Autocopy the RGB color codes

If you just need a couple of RGB color codes fast, the RGB color code

of the selected

color in RGB Lab is automatically available on the

clipboard in Windows, so you can

paste the RGB color code

immediately in any document or development tool.

Make sure the right format is selected in the list box in the main

window and paste the

RGB color code in your favorite development

tool.
