That is a 6 digit hexadecimal number. Each 2-digit pair represents one
of your RGB color, so the color is CC CC 99; i.e., red is CC, green is
CC, and blue is 99. That translates into decimal numbers of R=204, G=
204, B=153. This assumes that my conversion from base 16 to base 10 is
correct (I'm doing the math in my head).

One of the best free utilities I have on my machine is "Color Cop".
http://colorcop.net/

It will sample any color on your screen and tell you its RGB values as well
as Hex values.  In fact you can set it to display other formats as well.  I
HIGHLY recommend it to all PowerPoint users.  Give it a try and let us know
what you think.

Check out Pixie from http://www.nattyware.com/pixie.html

I use it all the time to determine RGB values for colors I want to
duplicate.

It's not as sophisticated as "Color Cop" - it basically just displays
the values for whatever is under the point of your cursor at any given
time. You can keep doing whatever you are doing in any application
while the little Pixie window displays the values.
