Finding a colour

[masm50]

Hi all,

I am trying to find a colour for a box that will stand-out within the body of my page which is grey (#CCCCCC).

I think I would like a colour that is about midway between #CCCCCC and WHITE that will be properly viewed by all browsers. Although any other suggestions would be welcome (colour-wise).

I found the colour #EAEAEA which was bout the right colour, but it didn't show up properly in IE6. The reason it has to show exactly properlt is because I need to add graphics to create 'curved' corners to each box, so these little graphics need to have the same colour.

Any help would be much appreciated,

Cheers

Halfway between ffffff and cccccc... Try f5f5f5.

How about:

#C0C0C0
or
#D3D3D3
or
#DCDCDC
?
ANother idea might be to go with a darker gray to begin with:

#999999

and use the #CCCCCC for the box?
