Help With Color Choosing

Albus Dumbledore
ok, well i got a new laptop...and it havent gotten the CD back from my friend for Photoshop, so i asked a friend of mine if he could take a screenshot of my site, and get the color of the right side navigation menu, when i say color i mean the hex code.... he said "oh i have a program that will do that" so he did it, and his program got #201820, so i took that hex code, and applied it to the poll that i have, so it will be set as the polls background color so it blends with the navigation menu...

well that didn't work, i got somthing completley different than the color of the navigation menu, so i went to my old computer booted up photoshop and did it myself and got #18181A ...


here is a comparison side by side

Well if his original color was that though on Photoshop. It is probably the same color they just got it a different way. I wouldn't be surprised. I mean I don't know how it goes about coding the colors but I'm sure there can be two colors exactly the same but with a different code. I mean if it is off bit the tiniest bit you can't tell.

hahaha. is it me or does the image look exactly the same? there's no difference in the color. but then again, it might be, just maybe, it's me. you know there are a lot of factors when considering the difference in color. try asking a female to look at the difference. and that's not a sexist statement. it's just a fact that women have the better ability when it comes to comparing colors.

Just to make life difficult, I went back to basics to try and get the colours. At the moment, using a print screen of your site and the all-powerful feature-packed MSPaint I have worked out the colour code to be #181819 (only 1 shade of blue off the code you said) for the navigation menu on the left hand side. The current background of the poll is #201820. They do look quite different, and even if you don't know the colours are different, it's quite easy to spot.

  7. Healing With Color

    So what is "healing with color" and how does it work? There are many ways to use color to help
    balance the body ( mind/emotions/soul) out. All colors operate on their own wavelength and
    everyone reacts to these in their own way. It has been shown that color does affect not just the
    senses but the body itself. There are many ways to heal with color. Let's look at some examples:
    There is healing with colored light ( subjecting yourself for periods of time under certain hues).

    Alright well the cooler weather is arriving up in the northern states (sadly not in warm Florida)
    and it's time for the leaves to change color and fall off the trees. I never really wondered
    though, why they change their color. Well hopefully you know that leaves get their green color
    from the chlorophyll is the dominant pigment that makes food and it gives the leaf a green color.
    Other pigments and carotenes also are in a leaf with orange or red or purple or yellow colors. The
    green though is the dominant color and is the only color shown. During fall though t....
