Printing out HTML/CSS Colours
I was trawling around websites trying to get an idea for colour schemes. They all appear to be infested with banner ads and anti-virus peddlers.
For people who like to roll their own, here is a Python script to dump out the hex codes for the first 16**3 colours:
#!/usr/bin/python
#Script to dump out all basic web colours in a table
hex_colours=['0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','A','B','C','D','E','F']
counter=1;
print """
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<table>
"""
print '<tr>'
for alpha1 in hex_colours:
for alpha2 in hex_colours:
alpha12=alpha1+alpha2
for alpha3 in hex_colours:
alpha123=alpha12+alpha3
print '<td style=\"background-color:#%s ;\">%s</td>' % (alpha123,alpha123)
#Every 20 cells, we want to change row
if counter%17==0 :
print '</tr>\n<tr>'
counter += 1
print '</tr>'
print """
</body>
</html>
"""
