For you Photoshoppers that like to incorperate your chops and signatures into the background of the forum, you would need to know the color of the background. This technique is also applicable for any other forum or website, or anything you want to find the color of.
First start off by finding a part of the site with the forum background. I usually always get my sample directly from a post to make sure its the right color.
This will do:
Now you want to copy the web page into photoshop by pressing the PrtSc button. It will usually be located near the top right side of your keyboard. By doing this, you will take a "snapshot" or in essence a "photocopy" of everything that is currently displayed on your desktop (with exception of your mouse cursor in 90% of all cases).
Now you may be thinking to yourself, "nothing happened, WTF!?". Dont worry. When you take a screenshot of your desktop, it works just like copying text. You dont see the text do anything, but you know it is copied.
Next, paste the screenshot into Photoshop, and use your Eyedropper tool and click on an empty space inside a post.
Now just go to the Color Palette menu by clicking the top color square. The top one will be the one that the eyedropper applied the sample to.
The three numbers circled are your RGB values, (standing for Red Blue and Green). The number pointed to by the arrow is your Color Code. You can use either one, which ever one is easier for you to remember.
And there you go, you have this forum's background color to apply to your work!
Just for reference, as the image shows above, this site's background color is:
RGB: 241,241,241
or
Color Code: f1f1f1
