For details on the use of “codes”, see The Role of “Codes” in Online Advantage
When choosing colour codes, consider how you would like the colours to be sequenced/sorted. Note that numeric codes will be sorted before alphabetic codes.
Colour Name
Enter text to describe the colour. This is a mandatory input for each colour. This is shown when selecting a product colours in order entry, on picking dockets, on invoices and credit note dockets and in inventory reporting.

Discontinued
Select this option if you want to tag this colour as no longer in use. When this option is selected, the colour may not be entered against a new or existing Product. You may choose to set a colour to discontinued rather than delete it so that you can view past history for the colour or use it as a selection criteria for reporting.
Colour (Hex)
Enter up to 3 Hexadecimal value sets that represents the colour (or colour combination). This is used in the system to display a sample of the available colours for a product as a visual guide, especially in the e-Commerce portals. Note that colours on web pages can never be exact as colours may appear differently on various screens depending on the monitors age, settings and resolution so this is to be used as a guide only.
Red
Enter the hex value for red element of the colour.
Green
Enter the hex value for green element of the colour.
Blue
Enter the hex value for blue element of the colour.
Preview

If you don’t know the hexadecimal code, you can use the ‘Pick Colour’ button to make a selection.
