Selecting Colors Using Microsoft FrontPage 2003

When designing a web page, sometimes you want to copy and use a specific color in an existing web site. But the problem is you don’t know what the exact color is. In this case, you can use Microsoft FrontPage 2003 to select colors by their values.

Here are the steps to follow:

1. Open the web site, picture or other file that has the color that you want to copy.

2. Open the Microsoft FrontPage and resize it to smaller window. Be sure that the FrontPage window is on the top of the page in step #1.

3. On the Formatting toolbar, click the next  to FONT COLOR   » select More Colors...

The More Colors dialog box appears.

4. Click the Select button and then point your mouse (outside the More Colors dialog box) to the color that you want to copy or reuse. (In our example, the color of the yahoo page toolbar has been selected.)

5. Copy the hex value in the Value text box and then modify it in the format #XXXXXX.
(e.g. {F6,E8,A9} -> #F6E8A9 ). From this format, you can now use it in your web page design.
