My Color Palette

I thought I would do something a little different this time. Any by different I mean similar with a few alterations. Todays column will be about my favourite colours. Yes I am doing the switching between the different spellings of colour again just to make Americans feel at home by spelling it wrong for them ;). Plus all this comes with the HTML colour codes for you to copy and paste.

Oranges
#FFB704 - originally used back in version 3 I beleive it was of M World as a background colour including the background of the text, which is now white with a general background of brown. Its just classic orange.

#FFCC00 - Its a nice lighter and brighter orange for everyday use.

#FF9900 - It contrast to the above its a dark orange, excellent for contrasting #FFCC00.

Greys
#666666 - an alternative to black, its quite a bit lighter although still a strong dark colour. It can easily be used for text to soften it against a white background.

#F0F0F0 - a very light grey when when white is 'just that bit too light.' That was never men't to come out as a rhyme.

#DDDDDD - a slightly softer alternative to #CCCCCC.

Blacks
#333333 - of coiurse there is only one true black but this is prety close. Just a little lighter.
