How do you find the exact RGB color code for a col
(I really hate the small character limit for forum thread titles)
How do you find the exact RGB color code for a color if it is already on an item?
For example :

Im trying to find the color code for color 1 of the succubus queen top there, but the game doesn't seem to tell me what the color code is. And trying to use a paint program's color picker on the screenshot gives me varying results, which dont seem accurate. 230 230 230 in game doesn't give me anything near 230 230 230 in a paint program's color picker for example.

Anyway, any color picker should give accurate RGB. In-game colors look different due to lighting and materials. Try inserting gold on the boots dagger - it will look very dark, because that's how many parts of Succubus Queen set works.
I tried print screen + pasting it into paint .net, but the results are still inaccurate.
See : http://i.imgur.com/DuFv1j0.png
There are at least 4 shades of blue there.
According to paint.net, its :
161, 208, 243
157, 206, 243
167, 216, 253
163, 211, 246
(not counting the darker shades which is probably inaccurate)
It always worked for me. http://oi63.tinypic.com/nxri36.jpg (Tinypic converted it into jpg, it's originally png).
The rest around it is caused by the way you fuq up your printscreens/jpegs/pngs's/transparant bakcground colors ingame
I just used a 187 221 255 dye, but according to instant eye dropper, the color (in the middle of the icon) is 197, 241, 255.
A 230, 230, 230 white dye also shows up in instant eye dropper as 255, 255, 255.
This makes it a LOT harder to find the correct RGB code...
Vallesti, that is exactly what I did. The results are still inaccurate. Try it. If you have any items with a 230, 230, 230 dye on it, print screen, paste into paint or some other program, and use the color picker to check the center of the icon (the small box next to color 1, 2 or 3). It will probably tell you that the icon is 255, 255, 255 or somewhere around there, NOT 230, 230, 230.

Hmm...maybe its because im running the game in full screen resolution or some other video related settings. Will have to do more testing on it later.
Here is what happens when you zoom in on your screenshot versus the image I directly pasted into paint. Quality loss.
You simply cannot rely on a screenshot of low quality for obtaining accurate results.
You can try using Snipping Tool. It saves in png by default i think...but it's more troublesome. The Paint way is much more simple.
The reason why the colors werent accurate was becaue of another reason, but thats fixed now.
i usually have that open, and when i need a color, i just hover over the item and crlt+alt+a brings u to screen capture mode, and just point ur mouse to the dye slot. and it will show the RGB code.
