SAS Colour Options

[deleted_user]

Hi

Can any body give me the list of colour options (which colour represents which number )that we use in SAS

like background-color: #003399;

Actually these type of options that was created when we were installing web report studio (in the form of .css files) on the server.I need to change these colours now.

Hi:
In your CSS file, that particular form of the color specification is a straight HTML color specification, in hexadecimal numbers. The 1st 2 characters are a percent of RED, the next 2 characters are a percent of GREEN and the next 2 characters are a percent of BLUE. The thing is that 00, 33 and 99 are HEX numbers.
[pre]
#FF0000 = FF=256 or 100% of RED, 0% green , 0% blue
#00FF00 = 0% RED, 100% GREEN, 0% BLUE
#003399 = 0% RED, approx 20% GREEN, approx 60% blue or sort of dark blue
etc, etc

If you go to an HTML color picker, (such as this one)
http://www.pagetutor.com/common/bgcolors216.html
you will see the 216 non-dithering colors. There are other color pickers on the web, you just have to search for them.

The Tech Support site has a SAS program that will generate this list for you:
