    Really? This is among the foundational basics of making websites. For your future:

    1. View the source of the website.
    2. Find the address of the stylesheet in the header (*.css).
    3. Find the background color on the body.

    In this case, the background color is #d5d6d7.

    Ahh, SleepW was right. There was the kubrickcolor.jpg overriding that background color. However, the steps are still there for you, for next time.

    Hey, I’m glad you found that so funny!

    i’m sorry..peace..just thought it was funny at the time

    FYI, there is a little program named “Pixie” you can use to grab any color on any site by putting the pointer on the color you want. It instantly reads the RGB/html/hsv color code in a box next to the pointer along with showing the color pointed to – no need to scan the css of page source.

    why use a program when you can do it directly with FF using an addon?

    The actual background color of your blog theme is #D5D6D7.

    The image being used for presentation of the background on screen is colored #E7E7E7 as SleepW suggests.

    Here is the image being used for your background in the Kubrick theme.

    I think he’s pulling our leg.

    I think maybe both of them…

    I use jcolorpicker at times as well. Same type of thing. Works well.

    why use a program when you can do it directly with FF using an addon?

    Why? Because addon’s to FF have a habit of breaking whe they do one of their “updates”. Further p not everyone uses FF – or a PC. It is far easier for me to simply click a tiny app inmmy taskbar, hover over a color, and get what I want – no fuss, no muss. Clayton appears to agree with that process, albeit with a different app.

    Basically – if you have an alternative to offer – do so – don’t snipe and run.

    Uh, ohh.. ??

    I use both actually, but I must be honest.. I am absolutely ADDICTED to the firebug extension in Firefox. It’s my number one go to for on-the-fly edits when I am working on my sites. Although I use it for quick reference only, nine time out of ten, the edits and info I gather with it seem to speed up my processes considerably when chasing down something troublesome.

    But, like anything, it comes down to what works for the individual. As far as identifying colors, both those color pickers work very well. Very fast, very easy. A color picker has helped me out many times.

    Peace!

    …and Happy Holidays to all!!

    Actually – I use both Firebug and the Web Developer add-ons, but as you say sometimes it is just easier to use my color picker.

    Happy Holidays right back at ya:)

    Problem solved. I didn’t expect so many responses :). I guess things got pretty heated over here.
