Here it is, the big scary question: what color is this?

You would think that, web developers having assigned numeric values to colors, that these systems would be precise, or even reliable...okay, perhaps somewhat predictable?

Not so!

I'm not asking for weird girl colors: all I wanted was forest green text on a cream background.

I fially got a result of forest green for at least the h1 heading.

Cream has been a lot more adventurous. Using the hex, rgb, or even the color name "cream," I have gotten lemon chiffon, gray, and default white. I even tried settling for cornsilk, but that gave me bisque. And bisque can be another weeny color word that varies from off-white to beige, which are even more variable as colors categories.

So, can I borrow some eyeballs out there? (I promise to let you keep the tooth.)

I'm on a recent Macbook Pro and it's a more leaf green here too. Also, the background is more tan than cream; it has a lot of yellow in it. For cream, I would recommend the color of your journal's comment backgrounds, or maybe even something lighter.

Come to think of it, your header background green here might be what you're looking for for forest green.

Thanks! My next project was going to be to try to figure out how to apply the same colors to my Dreamwidth, so that's two birds with one--ouch!
