What's really funny about this is all the graphic designers turned web
designers who suddenly forget about color. Eh?
Now, I am working on a site <http://www.hazbethlaneinfo.com>, and I had
the swatches from the architect. Great! Colors are already chosen -
maybe the RBG values are on the paint card? No. Okay, go the the
manufacturers website. Have to install a newer version of Flash. Okay.
Maybe an RGB? Nope. Still have to use an eyedropper from TopStyle (Yes
I could have used the FF ext, but I wasn't running FF at the time). One
thing I did do was great a class for each paint name - won't use it,
just to have so I can remember which color is which.
