Thanks Vlad

I think I'm doing something wrong.

I basically tried
lnColor=getcolor()
lcColor=strtran(transform(lnColor,'@0'),'0x','#')

This didn't seem to give me the correct color. For example, the color blue equals 8404992. The above gives me #00804000. That gives me this color. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

David

In order to display the color red in HTML text, I need to either use 'font color="#FF0000"' or 'font color="red"'. How do I derive that "#FF0000" value from 255, or from any other valid color integer?
