There is no misconception here, and you do not need to type in values manually. You can parse both style sheets and pages. With style sheets you can identify the color and background-color and compare their compatibility. If you have been informed otherwise you have been misled. If you have a programming background you would know that this is not difficult. Trying to apply it to HTML soup is another question all together, but to well formed markup it is not a problem. There is software that detects skin tone within images using this approach. Geoff
