Color Reference Guide

The DNN Color Reference Guide
By Richard Wootton
December 2008

The Color Reference Guide is a special 34 page resource to help you learn how to use colors within CSS when designing your DotNetNuke skins.

This guide has been designed to give you a better idea of how the different color systems work, how to use the Hex Triplet system and the 3 character Hex CSS Shorthand.

The color reference guide uses 3 variations of the websafe color palette to demonstrate how each byte of the Hex Triplet system alters the displayed color on screen, and therefore helps you choose a suitable palette for your web pages and skins.

This book comes in pdf format so you can easily refer back to it at your leisure.
