Hex colour values

[AndyLee100]

Why are the hex colour values in VB

&HBBGGRR Where B=Blue, G=Green and R=Red.

This has annoyed me this afternoon as I wrote a small application to convert RGB values to Hex and noticed it was always re-arranging the last 2 and first 2 hex values. I got more confused when looking on web sites that convert RGB to Hex and visa versa and they were giving different hex and RGB values to mine. Apparently HTML uses the more obvious format

&HRRGGBB

Very annoying!!!!!

AndyLee100,

<<looking on web sites >>

I noticed that yesterday by coincidence and found this

little utility which is good for one offs. Gives you values for the HTML, VBHEX and VBLong versions of any color.

Looks good, however I think I will write my own.

Thanks for that.
