RE: can I define custom colors?

Hi Jrl,

As for defining some custom colors for using in aspx page, I think it is
still better to use css for client-side html elements since there is no
particular html standard approachs that can help define custom colors only.

For controls that can utilize asp.net server-side expression, you can
consider put your custom colors into a global resource file(resx) and use
resource expression to embed color into control property. e.g.

==============
<asp:Button ID="btnSet" runat="server" ... BackColor='<%$
Resources:colors, color1 %>' />
==============

Subject: can I define custom colors?

Is there any way to define a custom color, in the code files of a web site
project?

I'd like to be able to define a pallette, using my own names, and then be
able to use those names in aspx files.
I know I can define styles, and use CSS on controls. But it seems like I
should be able to define a color name, and have it interpreted into the
rgb
during rendering.

For example, it would be something like:

color sage=(A0, B0, C0); // defining the color name

<body bgcolor=sage> //in the aspx
