Hi Senna,

You can convert the hexidecimal value directly, depending on what the source of the value is. For example, lndec = 0xFD, will assign the value 253 to lndec. If, however, you have the hex value as a string then lndec = EVALUATE('0x' + "FD"), will produce the same result.

Now, there are a couple of ways to retrieve the individual color values. Easiest, is to use the RGBComp() function in Foxtools. Another way is to use the bit functions to mask out the individual values. Here's how:

* Using RGBComp - Requires Foxtools
STORE 0 TO lnred, lngreen, lnblue
* lncolor is the color to break down
= RGBComp(lncolor, @lnred, @lngreen, @lnblue)
* Using the bit manipulation functions
lnblue = BITAND(lncolor, 255)
lncolor = BITRSHIFT(lncolor, 8)
lngreen = BITAND(lncolor, 255)
lncolor = BITRSHIFT(lncolor, 8)
lnred = BITAND(lncolor, 255)

Additionally, there are variations on the bit shifting above and also you could use integer division.
