Now try describing the same color using RBG: how much blue and > green must be added, and red reduced to obtain pink? Well, there is an inherent problem with what you said. Great I may know how to increase read to become pink under HLS, but the problem no lies in determining what Red is? I another color model is added I'd hope that it would be in line with L*a*b rather than anything else, since if I recall correctly, this model is capable of representing the widest range of colors. __ | Mortar: Advanced Web Development <http://mortar.bigpic.com/> | Neil St.Laurent <mailto:stlaurent@bigpic.com> | Big Picture Multimedia
