translating a color name to RGB triplet

[Stephen Barncard]

somewhere within the bowels of Rev must be a way to convert this directly.

I know you can input colornames to 'Answer Color'

     answer color with "AliceBlue"
     put it into fld "output2"

(it contains 239,247,255)

and of course this works -

       set the backgroundcolor of btn "toadMeat" to "LightYellow"

but when you get the color back from the object

        get colors of btn "toadMeat")
        replace numToChar(11) with return in x
        put it into fld "output2"

you can see "AliceBlue" in line 3 in fld output2.

(I was hoping to see the numbers!!)

hidden table or property?
