i always found it annoying trying to get the colors for backgrounds and such - the color palettes on various sites never have exact the color i want so i end up changing the hexidecimal code over and over again trying to get a better color.

anyway i played some actionscript and made this,

and thought it would be nice to share. the up/down buttons to scroll you through the hexidecimal number (making it user most friendly).
