As you can see, the color is changable via (%,%,%)
0%,100%,100% gave me teal instead of yellow
Does anyone knows how to fix this?

maybe I was unclear, I know that there is a field you can edit but it's a fact that yellow is a primary colour and not a mix between two colours

got the fact from here
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110525171126AAD7s6A
"Nothing makes yellow, it's a primary color
Someone obviously failed art class"

That's not a fact. There are 3 primary colors: Red, Blue and Green. Yellow's not one of them.
Yellow is a mix between Red and Green. Setting both to 100% would result in yellow.
If you would like an image of that:

As you can see: there are the 3 primary colors that overlap each other. Yellow is where green and red overlap.

(This is for light. Paint/printing is different, but not used very often on computers).

Edit: I find it strange that you use Red-Green and Blue to create yellow yourself ("Yellow: |CFFFFFF01"), yet you think yellow is a primary color.
The code "ffff01" means "255 255 001", or 100% red, 100% green, 0.3% blue.

Google is not your friend then but I still belive tjhey had 4 primary colours during my picure class last year

Which %,%,% (red,green,blue) creates yellow?

Like ap0calypse said, 100%/100%/0% creates yellow.
If the yellow is too bright, lower the green percent, such as 100%/90%/0%.

HOW TO CONVERT HEXADECIMEL INTO PERSENTAGE?

take number on left

times it by 16 (A = 10, B = 11, C = 12, D = 13, E = 14, F = 15)

add them together

9B = (9 * 16 + 11) = (144+11)=155%

e/ oops.. took me a while to realize something stupid...

now 155/255= 60.7%

Shouldn't google provide you with a link to some sort of calculator who do it?

Even your Windows Calculator even has it

Open the calculator, go to View -> Programmer. A list should appear on the left, select "Hex". Then you can type something like "A8". Now select "Dec" in the list and boom! The calculator tells you it's 168 (and 168 out of 255 is about 66%).

Still, other bases are extremely easy to learn. Basically because they're all pretty much the same.
Every base is converted the same way and behaves the same way. We use them because they're easier (base-10 is just pretty bad, so we need others

).

To convert any N-digit number of any base to decimal:

a_n(base)^n-1 + a_n-2(base)^n-1 + ... + a₂(base)¹ + a₁(base)⁰

"base" is the base number. You count in base 10 (decimal), computers in base 2 (binary) and base 16 (hexadecimal).
a₀ to a_n are integers between 0 and (base-1).

This may look complicated, but it's really easy to use.

After a while, there should be an entire range of colours ingrained in your brain.
You learn to know that yellow is red and green,
orange is just yellow with less green.
Brown is orange with less red and green,
Teal is blue and green (though it looks better with a bit less green),
Magenta (bright pink) is red and blue,
Purple is magenta with less red,
I could go on forever, but I shan't.

There are two different type of colour. The colour I learned at school says that red yellow and blue are primary while green purple and orange are secondary. This works when mixing paint but when it comes to light there are a different set of colours.

red green blue are primary while cyan magenta and yellow are the secondary colours of light. mixing colours on a computer screen relies on light and so we use the light spectrum of colours and not the same one we used for paint in kindergarten.

make sure u don't get them confused.

165*100 = 16500
16500/255 = 64
That trick with the culculator made the hexa much easier to work with , but I wanted to make sure that you know that 64.00 is not "about 65" XD

Don't you think we ignore such comments since the "noob" who didnt know the difference from primary color and formula of 3 colors in 0-100% ratio, named in 255 numbers which are described with letters - will simply wouldn't need all those comments? I needed to know how to form a color inside a text, what usefull will it make if you say "make sure you don't get confused in kindergarten colors" its really proves your answer not polite and wouldn't fit the asker.

ap0calypse · Jan 2, 2013

I believe you're mistaken, best_player_88: his comment wasn't impolite (at least it wasn't meant to be).
In kindergarten, you start playing with paint. The colors you use there are completely different from the colors you use on your computer.
So it's not "don't get confused in kindergarten colors", it's "don't confuse colors you learnt from the time you were in kindergarten with the ones they use for screens (TV, computer, ...)" (you misinterpreted that).

As I said in my first post here: paint (including printing, which is computer-related) uses different primary colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black). He just wanted to make that clear I think (since, there, yellow is a primary color and not a mixture of others).

165*100 = 16500
16500/255 = 64

'A8' is 168. 16800/255 is 65.88 which is "about 66%"

His information is usefull but I just simply wanted to know how to use
% of 3 colors to create particular color, there was allready a comment
here "this is a math of first grade" which made me skip on unrelated/insulting
massages, maybe his information was usefull but it was unrelated so I
assumed it to be insulting, this information is intresting, about the light
creating 3 colors which not allways match the paint colors, my bad.
:thumbs_up:

"'A8' is 168." yes but I had the annoying comment on mymind who made me missread the original comment.

Well thanks for reconsidering. I was just trying to help.... I was always baffled at how mixing Green and Red could make Yellow because when I first learned this I could only think about how if you mix red and green paint you would get some icky brown colour.
