OK hers a RSS feed I would like to use. [http://www.colourlovers.com/rss/lover/gfxcomplex/colors/new](http://www.colourlovers.com/rss/lover/gfxcomplex/colors/new)

When you look in the xml, you will see that no where will it explicitly say the hex or rgb of the color other then the with in the url string and alt tag of the image.

so what would be a better practice?

One:  
Try to pull the hex from the url with a some type of get string method or?

Two:  
fined a way to get the value from the alt tag of the image?
