This leves us with: RGB RGBA HSV HSVA L*a*b (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lab_color_space) L*a*bA CMYK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK) CMYKA Usefull units: Alpha Hex; integer; %; float RGB Hex; integer; %; float HSV ° and % L*a*b signed integer CMYK % Some problems with colors or is RGB sRGB or Adobe RGB: http://bj.canon.co.jp/english/photoretouch/reference/setup/setup02.html Some input about color names: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_name Please no X11 color names!!! Use some thing like RAL or the like as this is used in the color industry! http://www.ral.de/farben/en/ I hope this was of some help ;) Dominik (Slalomsk8er) Riva
