Color Match Your Backgrounds and Graphics: Exactly

If you want to exactly match your border color to one of the colors in your background, custom or otherwise, this is what you can do:
  • You can use the basic color codes which come with the Groups, but I found them a bit of a pain.
  • This way gets you an exact match: You will have to download another small, free program though.
It is called Eyedropper and here is the link: http://www.inetia.com/eyedropper_download_eng.php

It is a little Eyedropper tool that you hover over your background until you find the color or colors that you like. Here is a background to use as an example:

Click on your Eyedropper icon to open it up.
This is what you will see:



Hover the Eyedropper’s pointer arrow (which will not show in a screen shot) over the background. Find a color that you like. Do you see the six-digit number at the lower-middle section of the Eyedropper tool? Not the one enclosed in the parentheses. We want the one just beside the little square of color. For our example, we are using these numbers: C8C0C8. To close the program, just double-click the icon that is residing in your system tray at the bottom of your computer screen.

Use those numbers when you make your table by inserting them as your BorderColor. Here is the same background with the new border color:








You can obtain different effects with your background just by simply changing the border color, width, etc.
