Color picker strange results
Posted: Fri Nov 24, 2017 11:36 am
The color of the attatched picture is HEX #717173 or RGB (113, 113, 115) (255 could be added for alpha channel).
If I inspect it with the color picker of XnView classic 2.43, it tells me RGB (71, 71, 73, 255) and HTML (#FF474749). That's wrong.
The # suggests that HTML is the HEX representative, which makes no sense with 8 digits instead of 6.
/edit
ok sorry, wait a second... much confusion going on right now
There is a new convention which allows 8 digits in CSS HEX color values, but then the transparency should be the last two digits, not the first. In the specs it's still a working draft.
/edit2
The colour of the attatched picture is indeed rgb(71,71,73)=#474749, so XnView is more or less showing correctly. Please put the alpha channel information for 8-digit HEX at the end instead of beginning.
The confusion was partly caused by the different color perception depending on the background color around the picture. Furthermore a color from my color scheme (#717173) has the same value numbers for hex as another from the scheme in rgb.
