Its (unfortunately) not so simple.
You could use the table in http://www.mainstage.com/Files/LeeColorChartNbr.htm as a reference. In the page HTML there are the numeric (in hex) colours. That would already work fine. Convert hex to decimal.
If you want to approach it professionally there is a table in http://www.leefilters.com/downloads/ass ... ochure.pdf with the exact chromacity and luminance values. If you could put that in the package, it would become a full fledged and advanced design tool for theatrics.
As i mentioned you could be ok only with the colours up to 208. Above that are specials, not commonly used.

That cannot be the hex version of the color. The numbers going up and down do not associate with similar colors.

What I was talking about was getting some chart that said that something like Moss Green was x amount of Red, y amount of Green and z amount of Blue where x, y and z are a value from 0 - 255.

Here is what I use:

Color Red Green Blue
White 255 255 255
Yellow 255 255 0
Amber 255 210 0
Bastard Amber 255 206 143
Orange 255 103 0
Pink 255 77 255
Margenta 255 0 255
Red 255 0 0
Pale Amber Gold 254 192 138
Medium Amber 254 177 153
Gallo Gold 254 165 98
Golden Amber 254 121 0
Medium Pink 234 139 171
Broadway Pink 224 5 97
Pale Yellow Green 209 219 182
Light Red 176 17 0
Follies Pink 175 77 173
Half CTB 165 198 247
Special Lavender 147 164 212
Light Lavender 119 130 199
Full CTB 107 156 231
Medium Red 96 0 11
Lavender 88 2 163
Tipton Blue 52 148 209
Purple 45 0 255
Indigo 38 0 86
Moss Green 32 165 85
Light Blue 27 46 255
Double CTB 8 107 222
Light Steel Blue 1 134 201
Primary Blue 1 100 167
Cyan 0 255 255
Green 0 255 0
Light Sky Blue 0 145 212
Hemsley Blue 0 142 208
Brilliant Blue 0 129 184
Sky Blue 0 121 192
Bright Blue 0 97 166
Light Green Blue 0 83 115
Primary Green 0 46 35
Congo Blue 0 40 86
Dark BluGren 0 38 86
Blue 0 0 255
Dark Blue 0 0 189

I thought the hex values represent the colourfield next to them. Which they do pretty good...
eg: 106 (prim red) the value in hex is #CE0000 which would translate to 206,0,0
Light rose: EB6181 to 235,97,129
Light red: A50039 to 165,0,57 (instead of 176 17 0)

Here: http://www.easycalculation.com/color-coder.php
you can find a handy tool to convert the hex codes in the page i referred...

Also make sure to add the colour numbers to them because in theatre allways the numbers are used to refer to the colourtypes.

Thanks already on behalf the entire theatrical world :-)

I was looking for actual codes on the visable page, not in the programming. That would take some time but it could be done. I might have to expand my color pallet.

If you want help i can do the colour codes from hex to decimal?
Maybe others too?
With the conversiontool page it should take perhaps an hour or two max...
Would it be easy to put it in a spreadsheet mayby? With 3 columns for R G B
If this all would result in a usable theatrical setup it would be worth it.
Cuz we are worth it, are we not? :-D

Here is a complete conversion table HEX to DECIMAL including descriptions (i zipped it because is was seen as an "attack vector"???)
It should make a colour table creation easier, i hope?

After more than two months with this topic, we see a very low requirement for it.
We are fully busy for coming weeks/months with other very important developments.
Right now, we do not forecast to work on this for the coming weeks/months.

Sorry for this.

If you could just add the fixtures, i can add the colours etc myself.
afa interest: that should be up to marketing dept to create interest?
Right now nobody i talked to know about your brand in theatre. Usually Lightfactory or Chamsys are the ones in use. But nobody seems really happy with these...
I can see where SL could fill a nice gap.

The topic was viewed over 370 times, so i believe there some interest. Perhaps i post a general callout if anyone would be interested?
