Common Web Color Pallet formats?
I'm interested in becoming aware of any common web color pallet formats that are available online mostly intended to be compatible for import/export.

Basically any plain text format that contains hexadecimal color values. I'm just interested in what formats are being used/popular.
Re: Common Web Color Pallet formats?
You mean like #FFFFFF, #FFF, and FFFFFF? And rgb(255,255,255) if you count CSS stuff.

Not RGB, just hex.

Then unless we're misunderstanding your question, then you've answered it for yourself.
As long as RGB is limited to 256 possible values for each attribute, hex code will be the standard.

Hex color values stored in a file format, I don't see how this is difficult to understand?
Here is an XML example...

There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't

Re: Common Web Color Pallet formats?
All I'm asking if any one knows about existing color pallet formats. Maybe I should ask this question in a more multimedia oriented forum.
Re: Common Web Color Pallet formats?
There is no standard "colour palette" format. Palettes can be used in a variety of ways (designing in Photoshop, put into CSS), so there's no real standard (XML or otherwise) format for communicating a colour palette used for the web.
There are web-safe colour palettes if that's what you want.

Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

Yes thanks, that's going roughly in the right direction.
But to give it the umph it needs it looks like this would be most handy...

...and yes that is why I asked about formats being plural.
