Display colored box on form
I have a table of available color pairs that are assigned to each driver. The first color is the one to use on a calendar for items to be done. The second color is the one to use on a calendar for items that have been completed.
I tried to use named "HTML" colors that I got from an internet site but they would not work. These colors had names like "Frog Green"... To apply the colors, I had to use the RGB nomenclature (#969696 for gray). The problem is that when a user is selecting these colors, the RGB nomenclature means nothing to them. I would like to put a box beside each color text that has a background filled with the color selected. Whether or not it has text is of no concern, so if it is easier to do with text, that is fine.
I am hoping someone has a URL or Rich Text formula that will paint these boxes.
An alternative is if i can find a list of color names that could be used and are supported by QuickBase and most browsers, that are reasonably descriptive.
I need at least 5 color pairs. The way we have designed the solution, we use a darker color for the To Be Done items and a lighter color (same tint family) for the completed items. A sample is #E9494F/#FA4A47.
Your help is appreciated.
