Just treat the colors like you would treat HTML colors... IE.. red, green, blue...

Examples of color charts

Just pic a color, convert it from hexadecimal to decimal number one color at a time.. say FF00FF -> FF, 00, FF -> 255, 0, 255 and done
Do not meddle in the affairs of coders for they are soggy and hard to light

Wouldn't it be easier to just open up paint and go into the color chooser?

Paint does not display HEX values (unless Vista does it).

Both the table files take decimal colors, so I don't see the point of using the hex values.
