OCUK Forum RGB values.

StoutMeister · 9 Jan 2011 at 18:09

Does anyone know the RGB values for the blue/teal colours shown here ?

The reason I ask is that I screen grabbed what you see, opened it in photoshop (converting embedded profile to adobe rgb) and saved my work
(sigs) in sRGB

As you can see, my sig is "off colour".

Any ideas ? :confused:

Well I'm not sure what you did wrong, but the values you want are:

Dark blue: R: 0, G: 51, B: 102 | #003366
Lighter blue: R: 28, G: 87, B: 128 | #1C5780

you can download apps that give you the RGB of what ever you point at

or set the background to transparent ?

Setting your background to transparent has got to be the easiest way?

Probably some colour management thing, Illustrator always seems to give me different colours to Photoshop for example. Which is annoying.

I used the Mac DigitalColour Meter
Transparency's the key

Yes and I've done this before with colour samples etc and it worked perfectly.

If I were from the US I think I'd be saying "go figure", but I'm not so I won't.

Thanks chaps
