I need to make a 256 colors palette just like the one Windows uses

Where can I find the intensity of each color component (RGB) on the Windows palette?

This is how I have to do it:

Code:

---

for(int i=0;i<256;i++){
      colors[i].r=i;
      colors[i].g=i;
      colors[i].b=i;
}

---

That would be getting me a 256 colors gray-scale... What I need is a palette like Windows'.

You mean the 666 (aka websafe palette) or 676 format? For the first one, it's easy. 0, 51, 102, 153, 204, and 255 for each RGB color value. For the second, the same as the first applies for the red and blue only but the green uses 0, 43, 85, 128, 170, 213, then 255. As to which Windows uses, there's a strange, but interesting, way to test it. Load an image that has many different colors, snag a screenshot, paste it in MSPaint, and look for patterns in the color numbers.

Edit: as to generating it, use 3 nested loops, one for each channel, then set the values accordingly.

I didn't understand what you meant... For example, tell me the what the first five colors should be...

System Palette .

Dude,
Hex would have been much prettier... 0x00, 0x33, 0x66, 0x99, 0xCC, 0xFF
