Virtually all website building software now comes with a user-friendly font color selection tool, so the need for a hexadecimal color code chart is not always necessary to have in designing and formatting your website font and background colors. However, under certain circumstances, it is still convenient to have a color code chart or table available as a handy reference for quick font and background editing.

There are times, after previewing a site you have been building, that you will find a particular line of text or hyperlink that does not appear to have the proper font color to adequately fit in or stand out amongst the content of the page as you wish. Some online webpage builders have

website templates that have the font color set in a particular hexadecimal color code as a default setting. If you prefer not to change the default setting, generally because the majority of text and hyperlinks will be created using the default color, you may find times where a hyperlink or text content will be using the default font color, though it does not suit the appearance and presentation of the particular page content you are designing.

In this case, there are several choices you have in editing the html or xml code of the content to bring the content color in line with what you are trying to achieve. If the content on the page you are working on is

smaller and includes basic text without a lot of other layout codes, it is very simple to open the website content editing software, choose the particular text or content, and change the color with the dropdown or fly-out color code chart. If the page or content code is somewhat large with a lot of tables, hyperlinks, images, etc, you may find it easier to select the html code away from the site building interface and simply insert or change the particular content with the hexadecimal color code you want to use. After changing the code in a text editor, you simply “select all” and paste the new code to the page you are working on.

The reason this is sometimes

useful is that opening a large and intricate array of content code will sometimes change little bits and pieces of the formatting of tables, images, hyperlinks, etc, and make reloading, editing, and saving the new code a repetitive and never ending attempt to achieve the final result you need. Many times, the page building software will remove return breaks, change hyperlink colors to the default color, resize or lose an image setting, and even lose a table row or column setting, among other annoying changes.

By having [http://www.startsharper.com/]a simple hexadecimal color code chart available to use outside of the page building software, you are able to make minor adjustments to the website and page content, without opening the large and

intricate array of code in the page builder software. If–for the most part–the page content is appearing as you wish with maybe only a few small areas of content, titles, or hyperlinks needing a color change, editing the html code in a text editor will allow you the ability to edit or insert the new color code without risking changes to the overall content.

What I have found most practical, is to save the html code of a hexadecimal color code chart to a basic text editor that can be opened in a separate browser window. There are sources available in software, books, and some internet sites, that have un-copyrighted hexadecimal color code chart numbers available to be used for

non-commercial and personal use. By saving these codes in an html file, the hexadecimal color code table or chart can be opened in a separate browser making a convenient color pallet for font color, background color, and table color editing and referencing. Simply save the hexadecimal color code chart as; for example: colorchart.html. For quick access, drag the saved file to your quick launch toolbar location, and on two clicks, you will have an opened color pallet, hexadecimal color code chart for easy content coloring, adjusting, and editing.
