asked on

hex equivalents for the user browser option colors

I would like to know the hex color representation for IE7 and FireFox color settings.

For example in IE7 I can choose Tools/Internet Options/Colors/...then I can check the box "use windows colors".... what are the hex representation of these colors for the following choices settings that you can set: text, background, visited, unvisited, hover?

Also for those familiar with css there are psudo class properties for link, visited, hover, active. What are the hex representives for these browser defaults?

I probably could figure this out by writing lots of code etc, but thought this information might be readily available in some chart form somewhere? I have not been able to find this information after rooting around in google.

Do you have the same hex info for Firefox?
It is the same in firefox. It may be different on PCs that do not use a microsoft windows OS, but for windows machines that is the standard.

Thank-you! Thank-you for the links too.

I did some testing with a piece of software (Color detector - freeware http://www.cosmin.com/colordetector/) that identifies colors. I came up this on link unvisited and link visited.

link unvisited: blue (#0000FF) - for both IE and FF
link visited: purple (#800080) - for FF, purplish (#810081) for IE

I meant to add - the link you mentioned also explains how colors can be slightly different from montior-to-monitor. So this is probably why I got slightly different hex representations. But the colors come out basically to the bluish for link unvisited, and purplish/violetish for link visited.

Again - thank-you!
