If you are really having difficulty getting the colour you want in POV rgb
format, try the little colour picking utility here (for Windows):
http://www.skalarsoft.com/prog/pickcol.html

One of my favourites.  Gives the colour in RGB<255,255,255>, HEX &
rgb<1,1,1> formats.  Plus has a few nifty little features including the
Color Picker mode which lets you pick a colour off the current monitor
display...
