Hi, all,
I think all of the relevant points have been brought up by a variety of
members:
1) RGB and hex are interpreted identically by browsers
2) 3- and 6-character hex codes are interpreted identically by browsers
3) 3-character codes are equivalent to 6-character codes when you
duplicate each of the 3-character characters -- #666 = #666666, for
example.
4) 3-character codes cannot be used to identify colors with non-
repetitive color values, such as #ACDD57.
5) Whether or not to choose 3- or 6-character codes really depends upon
your personal preference, comfort level, and what appears to be more
maintainable/coherent for you and your team.
6) No additive color (based upon red, green and blue) will exactly match
a subtractive/ink-based color, but it may help your design ideas to
use one as a guide for the other.
With this in mind, noting that this and related threads have ended up
taking up 18 messages without expanding practical uses of this information,
can we call it a day and move on to other topics?
Thanks,
MikeL
