Hello,

I would like to use a color from my website in a pov-file.

Its 255, 203,151
but if I use it with the rgb function, i get a white color? Thats not white
in rgb colors from windows.
Whats wrong?

color rgb 1
color rgb <1,1,1>

POV-RAY's rgb values are 0.0 to 1.0 not 0 to 255
You can alsow use
color rgb <r/255,g/255,b/255> where r,g,b are 'windows' color values

  rgb <255/255, 203/255, 151/255>

  Also you might want to set assumed_gamma 1 in global_settings or else
you'll not get the same color.

Less typing this way: rgb < 255, 203, 151>/255
