Appendix F: Available colours
Strype allows you to specify colours as a hexadecimal string such as "#1098ee". The starting "#" indicates that this is a hexadecimal colour, and each pair of digits specifies the red, green and blue colour value (in that order, abbreviated RGB). So the colour above has "10" red, "98" green and "ee" blue. You can learn about hexadecimal numbers by searching online if you are not familiar with it.
If you would like to experiment more with hexadecimal colour values, do a web search for "hex color picker". You can find interactive websites that let you pick different colours and inspect their values.
You can alternatively use colour names, which can be easier if you are not familiar with RGB and hexadecimal. The table below shows all the available colours in Strype. Each row shows the string name you use for it, its hexadecimal value in case you want to then change to a similar but slightly different colour, and a column which shows what the colour looks like. (Colours may look a little different on screen, if you are reading this on paper.)
Strype ignores upper-case/lower-case for these colour names, so "AliceBlue" and "aliceblue" (or "aliceBlue") will all work as ways to use the "aliceblue" colour.
