Just like it asks, where do you find a the number reference for colors (windows)? I'm trying to change hover colors but do not know what number to enter in the code for a specific color. Many thanks for your help.

Take a look at this page (http://www.december.com/html/spec/color1.html).

This is the site that I like - http://www.december.com/html/spec/color.html.
There are many more out there too.
Another thing I use is this free tool - http://www.eltima.com/products/free-color-picker/. It's useful if you see a color you want to use on a page - you can drop a box (from the tool) onto the color and it will show you the hex color code.

If my question is hijacking this thread, feel free to delete this post...but I'm wondering if there is any problem with using RGB specifications as a friendly alternative to hex codes on SmugMug.
Ever since I learned that HTML color supports RGB, I've stopped using hex codes for color. I simply take whatever color value I see in Photoshop and put the RGB straight into the code without conversion. So far, I haven't seen any trouble in the browsers I've tested on, and it's so much easier for me to figure out what the color is when reading the raw code.
For those who haven't seen this...
Hex code spec in HTML
color: #2d412d;
RGB spec in HTML
color: rgb(45, 65, 45);
Anyone know any potential problems with RGB specs? If not, it might save a step for some!
