this is awesome, thank you Alex! however (and most likely it’s just me), I had a hard time with the RGB codes for Paloma & Violet Tulip. (I tried converting the Hex# to RGB and was getting 155.144.200 for Violet Tulip & 170.177.176 for Paloma)
sorry. my typo. you are right. paloma 170.177.176. violet tulip 155.144.200.
thanks for the lookout!
