Color and its numerical equivelant	Can't Post

heres a bit of a strange request. I have a client that wants me to use Periwinkle blue in the titles since tht is the color she will be using in her wedding. I am working on a photo montage that she is going to show at the ceremony. If I already had shot her wedding I would have just sampled the color from the video but Ihave not shot the wedding yet. Does any one know of a site that has colors and their numeracal counterpart that i can just copy to give me the color. Ihope i putting this so it makes since. Any ways any help would be apreciated.

I found a work around....I got online and did a search, found a website that had the color. downloaded the background then opened it up in photoshop. Then i used the color sampler eyedropper tool to get the information i needed.

Searh the web for "Web Colors". There are lots of sites with conversion values for all the popular colors.
Periwinkle blue is NOT a standard color and IS NOT COLOR SAFE. It is also refered to as "lavander". I hate it when people name them something else - car makers are famous for this!!
But if you must know, the values are 102,51,255. As you can see, the blue is maxed out. This is not good. TV safe colors should generally not be within 15% of the max value of a color.
