Reposting this from an email I sent to the web design list, as I found the color generator provided by the instructor didn't provide enough description for my former art student self.

I wanted to find the RGB values for a specific color, and found that I could just open a search engine and search for:
How do you make dark green in rgb?
And I found easy results.

It also led me to this website which I am now hooked on:
This website has all the information you need to create colors: the edit field allows you to enter any color value, i.e., hex number, RGB, or just the plain color word, such as "dark green," and then gives you all the ways to create it.
It also lists colors by name, defines all sorts of color terminology, and tells you if the color is web safe.
ColorHexa.com
https://www.colorhexa.com/

Lastly, if you have a favorite artist or painting, you can open a search engine and enter something like this:
Vermeer +color palette
And find out which specific colors that artist used.

I went back into my livejournal archives to find this, because I remembered how addictive *and* accessible this color scheme picker was.

You can pick different motifs –city sidewalks would be great for an urban-based website, for instance—or you can pick schemes such as “green trees,” which I include a link to after the main url.

Last one, I promise, but here is another color design website, but this one has recommendations for specific professions such as technology, education, media, entertainment, fashion, etc., though the orange and blue color combo makes me think of Howard johnson restaurants.

When I was in grammar school and spent most of classtime drawing, I came up with this image of a visually impaired bookworm that I drew on everything. It was green with big round spectacles that were as big as its head, and had little arms with two-fingered hands, so it could hold the book open and turn the pages.

When I designed one of my early web pages, Alexx's dad came up with a blind bookworm with dark sunglasses for me. You can see it on my old Blind Bookworm website at

I have this crazy hope that some people out there can help me obtain an updated version of my little bookworm, either by locating a similar Creative Commons version, or using mad art skills to update the graphic.

So this is me, asking folks to participate in a sort of demented art project. Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions/contributions.
