So nice. I am only 87 yrs old and have taken up colouring ( in pre drawn sketches) and like your presentation very much. One difficulty for me, if I like to mix the colours , I am not able to make out from where I can have information about the no/s you have provided, for example, 328DAA .in Blue Accent.
Is it possible to add this piece of information also?
Thank you
Thanks for the feedback. The numbers provided here are called hex codes and they’re simply numbers used in web pages and computing applications to represent numbers. To use one in Visme, for example, you just copy and paste the code in the color picker, as seen in the first image here: https://visme.co/blog/website-color-schemes/
