I actually searched in the help files in Visual Studio .NET and found this:
System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToHtml(ColorDialog1.Color).ToString
This works, but still gives you "words" for some of the common solid colors, like white, black, blue, red, etc. I think I'm going to try your way just so that I am sure to get the html color code each time.
Thanks so much!
