Incorrect rgb values for green and secondary blue about brand.jquery.org HOT 10 CLOSED

It seems that the CMYK values are not corresponding to the Hex either. I've used some converters to check, but then I know nothing about that, so it would be great if someone who knows about colors could check.

So I've done a screenshot with all the current values, and will check all of them as I go along, and hope to get a PR ready today with at least RGB and CMYK values corrected

While we're doing this, we should make sure that the colors are actually correct by comparing to the stylesheets.

from brand.jquery.org.

yes, good idea. I'll do that now also.

Also, while you're making changes to that page can you fix the minor typo where jQuery Secondary Orange should be jQuery UI Secondary Orange?

re: secondary orange -> ui secondary orange: yes, that was on my list :-)
I have checked the stylesheet and for each site, the darker color is used for the elements with the corresponding container id, while the lighter color is used for the borders (border-top-color), so it seems that all the hex values for the above colors are correct.

I've used 2 different tools for checking the CMYK colors as that's not something I'm familiar with and both gave me the same answers. This: http://www.perbang.dk/ seems to be a pretty good tool to get the pantone values also. I'll leave this for a second PR though as there is actually no direct equivalent between web colors and pantone. Instead, we have to check which one is the best match, and as we need to ensure primary and secondary colors work well together, the closest match is not always the best match. Hopefully there is someone around that knows about pantone colors? In some cases, the tool mentioned the values we have currently as one of the best match proposed, so I'll do another screenshot with that so we know where to stand.

Summary of the changes illustrated in the picture... Pantone with tick means the value is checked and seems correct. Pantone with question mark means the value needs to be checked (the tool didn't give the current value in closest match list, so I need to check what color the currently listed value corresponds to.

PR for changes made so far to follow shortly.

from brand.jquery.org.

the remaining pantone values seem ok.
