So, now we need a kitchen map. Not to mention cream pie models (I blame Venima's Tom and Jerry avatar), pizza, corn dogs, etc.

I Googled 0xFFFFFF and 32-bit colour code, but that didn't help. I just copied some text for the spell I mentioned earlier.

lolz wow.

"0xFFFFFF" and that stuff is hexadecimal. I will tell you how it works. Ignore the 0x, that's just saying the following is standard hexadecimal. Every two characters after the 0x represents a primary colour, in order: red green blue. (yes green, primary colours of light not paint).

the number base we're used to is decimal, numbers from 0 to 9 (for one character). Hexadecimal goes 6 further than that, but instead of using numbers for those 6, it uses the letters A to F. so:
0 = 0, 1 = 1, 2 = 2, 3 = 3, 4 = 4, 5 = 5, 6 = 6, 7 = 7, 8 = 8, 9 = 9, A = 10, B = 11, C = 12, D = 13, E = 14, F = 15

Now don't worry yourself with the maths cos all you really need to do is bring up microsoft's calculator, set it to scientific view, type in a decimal number and click the Hex radio button to the very left and it converts them for you.

To work out the colours in decimal, use paint's custom colour tool. That's pretty much all you need to know.

Alternatively, I could quickly come up with a tool that will allow you to adjust a colour shown in a box and it work out the hexadecimal for it...
