    To Copy Colors From Your Website:

    To start, you’ll need a program that can tell you the exact names (hex codes) of the colors that you have on your website.

    If you use a windows operating system like XP or Vista, There are many programs you can use to identify these colors. Below are several free color picker programs that you could download. There are also paid programs out there if you would like enhanced security and support.

    Color Picker Suggestions:

    ColorPic
    GetColor!

    If you have a Macintosh, look here.

    At the end of this page are instructions on how to put these colors into your Mimi theme.

    Now, Let’s Walk Through An Example:

      1. In our example, we’re going to use the Annystudio Just Color Picker. So first you need to download the program.
