How do I find the rgb values for colors defined by their name: e.g. blue, green, yellow etc.

[Peter Haworth]

Here's a function that some kind person on the list gave me a while back.

*function* RGBFromColorName theColor

   *if* theColor is not a color *then* *return* "Error: not a color"
*create* invisible button



   *if* the result is not empty *then* *return* "Error"



   *set* the backgroundColor of last button to theColor



   *set* the backgroundPixel of last button to the backgroundPixel of last
button



   *get* the backgroundColor of last button



   *delete* last button

   *return* it



*end* RGBFromColorName
