I recommend you put this on an FKey if you have one available.   Gest Color Convertor

To use the color convertor, here are a couple of things to remember.

Do NOT use the # sign, just the 6 digits.

Do NOT use caps, it must be all lower case, or it won't work.

RGB means red, green, blue.

R =Red     0=no red color -- 255=maximum amount of red color.

G=Green   0=no green color -- 255=maximum amount of green color.

B=Blue     0=no blue color -- 255=maximum amount of blue color.

The colors in rgb form MUST be entered exactly as I have them - meaning use the commas, use the parenthesis, use the decimal before the last number and use the rgba before the numbers. r=red,  g=green,  b=blue, a=alpha. Alpha is what makes the transparency work. The lower the number, the more transparent.

More Extreme with Color

Using Ed's beautiful indian princess .

I chose 2 colors. One from her face, #c9a87b. One from her dress, #9cb4d0.

Then I drew a rectangle:

+0+0 +200+426

Fill color = rgba(201,168,123,.50) Converted from #c9a87b

Another rectangle @

+180+0 +400+427

Fill color = rgba(156,180,208,.50) Converted from #9cb4d0

Result -- Draw - 2 Colors

Then I went to decorate - 0x0 in the box. Choose border.

In the color box type --> rgba(156,180,208,.50)

Scroll down to compose dropdown, choose colorburn.

Click decorate.

Brighten @165

Result -- Draw and Decorate Comp Colorburn

For this one I entered the url, and went straight to decorate.

Border 0x0

Color = rgba(181,138,203,.30) which is a nice soft orchid.

Composite LUMINIZE from the dropdown bx.

Now draw.

Choose rectangle.

+20+5 +270+230

Fill color = rbga(20,20,203,.30)   No stroke

Draw again - just stroke, size 2
