RGB Color Codes Matched to SU!'s 65 Exclusive

[Vintage Redhead]

[left]All:

My inboxes are *so* inundated with requests for this document! It is posted on another thread, but since it isn't on the first page, it is tough to find. Here it is, for all to see/use/have/pass along.

Please know: this document was created with the input and expertise of *many* talented stampers. I may have "organized" it and spent a great deal of time testing the values, but that would not have been possible without the generous public postings of the following SCSers: Nate's Ma; KymbersStampin; HeyMeyNell; Doris B; sparksdm; LoriJ; Stampinaholic; *PLUS* all of the encouraging members who all gave the rally cry: "Yes! We want/need/have to have this! Does anyone have it to share?"
The following are color-matched values for Stampin’ Up!®’s exclusive colors. This list includes the nine colors retired in 2005. You can use these values to color-match scrapbook journaling, to create a custom sentiment inside of a card, or to create a color-coordinated element for a hand-stamped party favor. Remember when printing on vellum that it is best to print in a DARK color, layering your vellum over a lighter color. When printing on cardstock, you may wish to try different color combinations to achieve either dramatic or subtle effects, just as you would with your stamping.

For those who don't know how to do this: Open Microsoft Word. Type desired text in your selected Stampin’ Up!® font. To change the font color, choose FORMAT from the top menu bar. Select FONT, then FONT COLOR. Select MORE COLORS, then choose CUSTOM. You will find a place to enter R, G, and B "values" for the color mixing. Print your text on your printer and compare to your cardstock ring to ensure they match.

Wow! What a great idea, Kaylyn! Thank you for sharing & shame on those who are passing this off as their own or offering your work as a "bonus" for demo ebay sales.

[sewcrazie]

Thank you, Thank you Thank you! This is so cool. I am currently making a set of all occasion cards for my sister that have to say Special Caregive or Wonderful Helper on the. I tried ordering a special stamp for this and hate it. So I have been printing the words and this will be such a great big HELP! Thanks again your the best!

[InaRubberRoom]

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone involved in this endeavor. Being somewhere past barely computer literate I understand how time consuming this was, whether it was writing the codes or just organizing and testing them. This is an invaluable item and phooey on anyone taking credit they don't deserve.

BTW - did I say thanks-
Cyn

[bonniejo]

Thank you, all involved in putting this together! This is invaluable information. Kaylyn your instructions were so clear written and easy to follow, even for me! I am very computer illiterate, just ask my brother! You all ROCK!!!

Kaylyn, I am so pleased that you decided to re-post the color combos. You are very well spoken in the written word. I read some of the other posts. I commend you for speaking up for the rights of all who follow the rules. I thank you for deciding to re-post the combos.

Thanks so much to you and to those who assisted in compiling this list. I can't begin to imagine the time and patience it took.

I'm so sorry for what you have had to go thru since you first posted this list. Some people obviously have no concept of "Integrity". And for you to post it again (for those of us who didn't have sense enough to save it the first time!) this just shows what an amazing person you are.

What goes around comes around. You will be rewarded for the person you are and I'm sure the "gnome" will also receive their "reward".

Thanks!

[AndyJoe]

Thank you all for your hard work for all of us here at SCS! You are truly appreciated! Thank you for your generosity, especially after what happened, they will get what is coming to them, sooner I hope than later.
Have a great day and don't let the "TROLLS" get you down.
Andrea

[miss missy]

thank you for posting this and thank you for everyones hard work on getting this together...

[lroberts1977]

Thanks to you and everyone who helped with it for posting this awesome list. I'm sure it was no easy task to determine these codes. I also appreciate that you explained how to use the codes. I wouldn't have been able to figure this out on my own!
I'm sorry that the "troll" used your hard work as their own. The sad thing is that there a "trolls" in every group of people you encounter. They're always going to take the easy way out and at times profit from others hard work. But I believe that eventually they will get what's coming to them..
Thanks again for sharing your hard work!

[mschoener]

KAYLYN -- YOU ARE THE GREATEST! THANKS FOR SHARING AND BEING WHO YOU ARE!

[Stampingpat]

Thanks Kaylyn, Now maybe I will be able to match kinda close the colours you all are using. I might be able to make me a colour swatch to take with when I go shopping in London. Thanks again.

ok I have a silly question......how do I know if I have Microsoft Word? I do know that I have LotusSmartSuite Word Pro.....how would this be different? YES, I am a blonde, if you're smiling or laughing by now! ROTFL I would much rather ask this silly question here than to ask my DH!

[wolfpackgirl]

AMEN to all those who are singing your praises! You showed true class, and all of us appreciate it!

[Carebear530]

WOW!!!! I never would have thought about that! Thanks a bunch!!!

[HeatherJ]

Thank you kaylyn!!!

And StampBee..... If you have MS Word it will be in the list of Programs at the Start menu. If you are using the Lotus Suite, more than likely you don't, but the colours will work the same in that too. Just find the box for setting your Fonts, and I think it is under the Format menu in your program too (I don't have it on this computer, going from memory)

Hope that helps,

HeatherJ
