Finding colour tones... WordPress

SOLVED

Hi Guys

Not strictly a WordPress question but I will be using the colours on a WordPress site so I'm hoping your will cut me some slack :)

My client wants a colour that is between these two shades

#CB3500

#9C5708

Does anyone know of a tool I can use to find that colour? Or even better provide the #hex of the colour that is right in the middle of these two.

Many thanks
Steve

You can do it directly using this conversions: http://gristle.tripod.com/hexconv.html

This would be (using this: http://www.javascripter.net/faq/hextorgb.htm)

#CB3500 in RGB: 203, 53, 0
#9C5708 in RGB: 156, 87, 8

Francisco Javier Carazo Gil comments:

The middle would be: (203+156)/2, (53+87)/2, (0+8)/2 = (180, 97,4)

In HEX: #B46104 using http://www.javascripter.net/faq/rgbtohex.htm

Thanks Francisco. A little bit complicated for my little brain though. I have learnt something today from that though so thanks again :)
