even shorter:

lcWebColor = "CCFF33"
_screen.backcolor = evaluate("0x" + substr(lcWebColor,5,2) + ;
    substr(lcWebColor,3,2) + ;
    substr(lcWebColor,1,2))

Note that VFP colors are numeric and can be thought of as 4 byte integer such that 0BGR. Therefore, you can do it by hand as: _screen.backcolor = 0x33FFCC

>>>I have found a color palette, on the web, so I know hex color value of the color like CCFF33 however, what I would like to do is use that color palette on forms in VFP.
>>>
>>>Does anyone know of way to conver web hex colors to RGB colors as used in VFP so the colors come out the VFP uses hem like 1280052125

>>HTML colors are specified as RGB with two hex digits per color. You can convert them to VFP colors with:
