If you wanted that to be interpreted as a hex number simply append &H to the front of it like so &H10999801. Steve

So try reversing Red and Blue in the hex representation before you convert it to decimal. For example, your color above is #A7D7F9. If we use RGB order then Red = A7, Green = D7, Blue = F9 and we get a pale slate blue. If, however, this number is in BGR order (Red = F9, Green = D7, Blue = A7) it should result in a flesh tone (or at least it's pretty close the the flesh tone of a white guy like me). Whichever one of these your 10999801 above is tells you how your hex format needs to be. |
