If you've ever looked for that "perfect color" and been frustrated trying to track it down, the charts you'll find here may be the assistance you need. Digital color tones are visually arranged and labeled for RGB and Hexidecimal codes. The charts are easily saved so you can have them handy when designing your web page, picking out a desktop theme or working on your next art project.
