    Custom Color Names / Variables

    While more experienced users can pretty much tell a color from its hex, new
    users can't. Named colors do help with consistancy and new developers. Is
    it possible to create custom named color lists (or other variables) at
    design time?

      Take a look at this code sample at ASPNet101.com and see if it gives you any
      ideas toward what you need:

          Sure, you can...
          You can even take it much further... define not only color but font size,
          borders, background...

          And all this called CSS....

          George.

              I'm looking for true variables or things like enumerations. Not in the code
              behind, but in the aspx.

                  The problem with CSS is if you apply CSS at the control level and you have
                  CSS on a theme you lose the theme CSS.

                      Re: Custom Color Names / Variables

                      Thanks, but I have an enterprise wide set of custom colors that are not on
                      the standard list.

                      I would like to create a pallete of custom named colors to shate across the
                      enterprise. CSS is not an option.
