16 million colour

[Ashkan]

hey yall
i know it is possible to make colours in turing using the combination of RED GREEN BLUE to make a colour from the 16 milllion range.

I read the RGB tutorials and other posts regarding making one but none i could really get to apply to my problem.. they were delaing with shadowing and stuff.

if any one can simply make a program which draws a box with this colour
i would appreciate it

RED: 226 , Green : 220 , Blue : 124

ok, first you should understand that the RGB commands in turing take red green and blue values from 0.0 to 1.0
and then the code would be something like this:

code:

var clr := RGB.AddColour (226 / 255, 220 / 255, 124 / 255) drawfillbox (0, 0, maxx, maxy, clr)

the function RGB.AddColour returns a number for the colour that was created, and returns 1 if the colour was not created successfully.

hey Mazer
thanx alot for the code and explanation but why do i see a black screen ? even if i change the numbers i still get a black screen..
any suggestion for that

yeah, it doesn't make sense to me, i would think that RGB values like those would give you a pale yellow or slightly orange colour. i think turing is kinda messed, try other colours most should work.

hey i checked in school today on the latest turing version 4.05 not 4.04c and it showed the right colour.
=) thanx
