Remarks

HTML colors

In an HTML page, the colors are represented by a character string such as "#RRGGBB". RR, GG and BB represent the hexadecimal value of red, green and blue components.

The following code allows you to convert an HTML color into an RGB color:

nRGB is int
HTMLColor is string
// If the HTML color has no #
nRGB = RGB(Val(Left(HTMLColor, 2), "x"), ...
Val(Middle(HTMLColor, 3, 2), "x"), ...
Val(Right(HTMLColor, 2), "x"))
// If the HTML color contains #
nRGB = RGB(Val(Middle(HTMLColor, 2, 2), "x"), ...
Val(Middle(HTMLColor, 4, 2), "x"), ...
Val(Right(HTMLColor, 2), "x"))
