    signature colour

    Olo! (megamind for the win )

    Not sure where this should have gone, it’s not really an urgent problem.

    I’m in the middle of making a signature, and I’m not sure what colour the background is on the message tile??

    I used to be able to go to page source or something and rifle out the colour, (or at least that’s what I think i used to do) but the knowledge has left me. Can anyone help please

    Regards,
    Allan.T

      Sorry, my skills at explaining are lacking. I’m making a signature for this forum.

      I’m looking for the colour code of the background in these messages, is it just plain white? so would it be #000000

          whilst we’re on the subject, are signatures even allowed? I can’t even find signature protocols

            Hi Allan. The Hex code for (White) is FFFFFF.
            The Hex code for (Black) is 000000

              Aye, I got there in the end.. man.. When I was younger all this was just filled in my head, now I find myself taking notes… Think I might buy a tobacco pipe and a flat cap XD

              Is my signature too big? still can’t find any guidelines for it

                Well,i suppose you have those permissions. IMHO it does take up a lot of space tho.

                  I checked on another XenForo site where I am, and looks like the default Sig size is 500x250 Pixels, which is what your Sig is,Allan.

                    Yep..either way it’s your choice,since the sigs permissions are set to those dimensions . Nice avatar btw..

                      According to my colour picker app the message background is Ghost White.
                      Hex: #FAFBFC
                      RGB: 250, 251, 252
                      CMYK: 0, 0, 0, 1
                      HSB: 210, 0, 98

                        Hi Bastet.
                        What software are you using to get that Hex code?
                        Thanks.
                        I am using Photoshop CC2017 and getting a different Hex code.

                          It’s OK Bastet.
                          That foreground has a number of shades of White, I just found out.
                          I colour picked another area on the foreground and got HEX #FCFCFD.

                            Hi @DOUGIE, It’s an Apple Store app β€˜Colour Name’, it can take colours from a photo & tell you the information I posted, it also tells you which complimentary colours go with the colour you choose. I took a screen cap of the forum & choose to scan the background of the message not the op sig which is white.
                            I used the app to discover the correct hex for the 9th Doctor’s TARDIS colour for my desktop theme.

                              Oi gerrof my picture only joking.

                              It’s a different colour because I used plain white, my sister came round as I was halfway through the signature, so I stopped where I was and uploaded. so the code you’d be picking up is #000000 also with the overlays and lighting fixtures, there should be a very slight gradient of whites in my signature. Maybe thats where you’re getting your different colours from

                              Whats worse about this whole situation, is I could’ve C+P’d the image of PCHF and just colour picked the background.. I need to go back to school.
