Paint colours

[Guest Clare]

The colours used in Paint carry numbers identifying the hue, saturation and

luminescence. Is it possible to find out what these numbers are for any

particular colour? I don't mean the colours given in the colour box but a

colour, say, in a jpeg image imported into or saved in Paint.

First, use the eye dropper to select the color for which the data is

being sought. Then under Colors, open Edit Colors and go to Define

Custom Colors. The values for hue, saturation and luminesence as well

as the Pantone color chip values should be displayed. HTH.

Wow, this could distract me for the rest of the day! It may not be what I

need right now, but I'll bookmark it for future use.
