Scripting gradients

[Guglielmo Braguglia]

John ... your values are already *RGB* values, just differently written 
... ;-)

E.g.  ... *#FF7F00* is made by three couples of values : FF (/the R 
value/) 7F (/the G value/) 00 (/the B value/) just written in 
hexadecimal ... convert to the decimal value and ... that's all.

So  #FF7F00  is just 255, 127, 0 :-)
