I find that doing projects again without following the steps to be really helpful with driving home concepts because they never stick when I am just following the steps; I suspect it is because I am too anxious to see what happens in the next step. Anyways, I just redid the CSS colored marker project again without looking at any code for reference except the stuff I have in my notes and also without following steps again. Doing this help me have a solid understand of how to use CSS to specify different colors. The most valuable thing I got to know about doing this by myself was the html color picker tool. I didn’t know how to look up different colors aside from googling, which never lead me to the CSS color picker too. Bing chat led me to that tool. Though it doesn’t fully duplicate the colored markers project. I am just happy I did it on my own.
For matching colors you can download something called instant eye dropper. When using this tool it will give you the color of anything that you click on. I used it a lot when I was working on learning html and css. Its also very helpful if you do any of the front end mentor challenges, because you just have to click on the part of the picture you want the color for, and it gives it you. Its free and its worth checking out
thanks I will look it up and check it out. I was using the html color picker tool on ws3 before
( HTML Color Picker (w3schools.com))
I will look up this tool you told me about though because I still had to dig around in this color picker to find the tools I want. The tool might save me some time.
