There are times when you have to match RGB colors in SSRS to
Hex values that are defined by the business requirements. I save myself a lot
of time by using websites that do this conversion for you. Here is one site to
convert Hex to RGB and vice versa.
Simple but effective.
Getting the exact
color
Sometimes you need the exact color codes (RGB or Hex) to match
incoming graphics with SSRS colors. I would suggest that if you are not
provided with company colors schemes already in this format (RGB/Hex), use the
standard colors in SSRS in then work from there.
1.
Select the color you want. Do this by picking
any object (text, rectangle, background, etc.) and Select properties. Choose
the appropriate object to needs a specific color and then expression. In this
example, I’m using Khaki. Select Expression…
2.
Under the Expression Dialog box, you will see
the option More Colors in the Value Box. Select More Colors. This will bring
you to the Select Color…
3.
Select the Color Circle Bar, move it to the top
position. And this will give you the Color Sample “Khaki” and another split
color for you to manipulate. We can record the RED, GREEN,BLUE color code for
Khaki and use that to color object that need to match SSRS objects.
NOTE: Where trying to match graphics from
incoming applications into SSRS, try using the PNG graphic format instead of
JPG. PNG is a good choice for storing iconic graphics in SSRS and often has
zero loss of quality regardless of the sizing (which should be small in SSRS).
I use this all the time and am never disappointed when importing graphics of
this type into SSRS.
