+ | |||
+ | Please note that while the Hewlett Packard specifications for PCL 6 enhanced is that it is backwardly compatible with PCL 5c and 5e, in practice unless the printer specifications state that it is PCL 5c compatible the printer will probably not process PCL 5c. | ||

+ | These are the 16 standard colors defined by the World Wide Web Consortium for web use. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can also use a **decimal** RGB color triplet to specify any color in the sRGB colorspace. | ||
+ | For example, *FUCHSIA above can also be specified as | ||
+ | |||
+ | **255000255** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Remember that the RGB triplet **must be entered as 9 digits**, and that it is **decimal**. Most people are used to seeing the RGB triplet in hexadecimal as it is used on the web. | ||
