Hi Mary,

Here's a thread contains a couple of options.

Hi Mary - and anyone else who cares -

As an alternative to Cranston's idea - and I admit it needs no improvement - here's a process for the particularly anal retentive among us... especially if it's absolutely critical that you have that particular shade of umber...

Every colour (or color, depending on which breed of the Queen's English you use), has an RGB value (red, green, blue) and an HSV value (hue, saturation, value). These numbers are between 0 and 255. Once you've memorised these values for the colour you need, you simply have to enter them into the colour picker dialogue box when you go to make a new colour board.

If you don't want to try to remember the values, you can use a little tool like Quick HTML Color Picker - http://quick-html-color-picker.smartcode.com/info.html - to do it for you.

... or you can just click on a colour like everyone else.

Cheers - Tony
