    HI,
    I’m trying to set the color for various elements in the General Styling section. When I enter the value for the color that I want #005eb8, the entry is automatically changed to #005fb8. Why?

    Hey AlanGRutter,

    Thanks for reaching out to us!

    Simply put #005fb8 is the safest web color to #005eb8. http://www.colorhexa.com/98cb03

    You can research and read more about web safe colors if you like. http://www.htmlgoodies.com/tutorials/web_graphics/consistent-colors-for-your-site-all-you-need-to-know-about-web-safe-colors.html

    Hi Jordan,
    Thanks for the information. I checked out your links and both #005eb8 and #005fb8 have a web-safe color of #0066cc (according to your link) so I still don’t understand why when I enter #005eb8 it is being changed to #005fb8 as this is no more web-safe than what I entered.

    I would expect that if I enter #005eb8 as my chosen color (as every other color-picker I’ve ever used allows), then that is what I get – not #005fb8. This is confusing behavior which I consider to be a fault not a feature.

    Regards
    Alan

    Hi Alan,

    It’s a little bit complicated to explain but basically, the color picker script fails to calculate the color values to the exact decimal because it automatically rounds the color values (HSBToRGB / HSBToHex) to the nearest integer unlike on advanced editor like photoshop which calculates the values to the last decimal.

    Yes, it’s a fault or a bug from the third-party script we use for color picking in the backend, but the difference is hardly noticeable in the actual color, if you really need the #hex code to be exact you can add this to your theme / child theme functions.php:

    add_filter('avia_dynamic_css_output', function($output, $color_set) {

	return str_replace('#005fb8', '#005eb8', $output);

});

    That will look for all the iterances of 005fb8 and replace them with 005eb8 (apply the code then resave theme options to generate a new dynamic file).

    Best regards,
    Josue

    Hi Josue,
    The code you have above created an error when pasted into my child theme’s functions.php. Can you please correct it?

    Missing argument 2 for {closure}(), called in /srv/bindings/da7256b0129e419d8d8847a957370a56/code/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 300 and defined in /srv/bindings/da7256b0129e419d8d8847a957370a56/code/wp-content/themes/Child Theme/functions.php on line 6

    Line 6 is where this code is inserted in functions.php

    Good morning

    I would like to add to this thread. I am having this problem and the Josue’s code will crash the page – although it looks syntactically correct.
    Can you please recheck and consider if we need to replace more than one color?

    Thanks,
    Kr, Jay
