Color from Hex Chart needed

My eyesight is a bit dull when it comes to certain colors. What's a good Hex code number for a silver/bright grey color so I can change my mod's color from red?

Thanks in advance! ^_^

That is a really good color wheel.

That's a nifty site as it'll also list what colours matches and stuff.

And if you want to mess around with it a bit yourself, here's how to understand those numbers:

First off, it runs on a hexadecimal scale, meaning instead of 1-10, it is 1-F. There are sixteen possible values. Now here's the next bit:

Browsers read the colors in Red, Green and Blue. So how do we get Red Green and Blue from C0C0C0?

The first two numbers are red, the next two are blue, and the next two are green. The higher you make the numbers, the more of that color are present.

Now, let's make some grey. Basically, all we have to do is lower everything right? I mean, grey is white and black mixed together. To get bright, we go high, to get dark we go low. As you can see in Rolex's post, the values are all equal.

C0C0C0

If we want a little brighter grey, we just turn it up a bit

C2C2C2

Or if we really want to make it brighter, start with the first number to jump it up 16 spaces

B0B0B0

And vice versa to turn it down.

It goes red, green, blue, not red, blue, green.

Whoops, you're right, thanks!
