Colors in Hexadecimals for .ASS (subtitle)

[Sedoc94]

Hey,

I need to put the color of the text of the subtitles in hexadecimals... BGR
H<bb><gg><rr>



That should be something like H76173255 right?

But when I put that into the code it shows as a whole different color something like a very very dark orange or something..

Can somebody help me what I'm doing wrong?

Shouldn't the Hex code be six digits, each digit ranging from 0 to F? (ibid): http://www.computerhope.com/htmcolor.htm. Choose the color you want, copy the six digit code, paste it into the box that's labeled "#". Voila! What you refer to as Hex code is actually a numeric for each color ranging from 0 to 255.

Windows' calculator program also has hex/dec conversion.

76 = 4C
173 = AD
255 = FF

76,173,255 --> 4CADFF

I guess ASS wants a leading H to indicate hex so: H4CADFF

Looks like he entered it backwards, then.

No, he had them in the right order: H<bb><gg><rr>. There's also an optional leading two digits for alpha (transparency): H<aa><bb><gg><rr>. I just checked this with VLC.
