SUMMARY
=======
Microsoft PowerPoint, versions 4.0 and earlier, include a table of predefined
colors called the Genigraphics color palette. These colors are the ones most
commonly used in PowerPoint. Like all colors in PowerPoint, they are represented
internally by RGB (red, green, blue) values that can range from zero through
65,535.
Some applications represent their colors using CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow,
black) values. These values are typically represented as percentages. The
following table provides the approximate conversion of the PowerPoint RGB values
to the CMYK percentages. The table includes all the predefined Genigraphics
colors as well as the standard VGA pure colors.
NOTE: PowerPoint 7.0 does not use the same color naming scheme as PowerPoint
versions 4.0 and earlier do. In addition, PowerPoint 7.0 uses a scale of 0-255
instead of 0-65,535 for representing RGB values.
