SUMMARY
Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows ships with a table of predefined colors called the Genigraphics color palette. These colors are the ones most commonly used in PowerPoint. Like all colors in PowerPoint, they are represented internally by RGB (red, green, blue) values that can range from zero through 65,535.

Most other Windows-based applications represent RGB values as a range from zero through 255 or as a percentage. The following table provides the approximate conversion of the PowerPoint RGB values to the more standard representations. The table includes all the predefined Genigraphics colors as well as the standard VGA pure colors.
