The colors are given in RGB (Red Green Blue) format, written in hexadecimal
(base 16). Split the numbers into 3 sets of two and use a calculator that
does hex-to-decimal conversion to convert each 2 digit hex number to decimal
format. This will give you 3 numbers, each from 0-255. This should map to
showrgb numbers.
Or, to make things a lot simpler, I believe that you can use the name of the
color as given in the showrgb command in place of the hex number itself.
Hope this helps.
