The colors used in the Menu Wizard are determined from the values you specify in the Menu Wizard .XML file. The Menu Wizard uses HEX codes to specifiy color values.

HEX codes (short for hexidecimal) are the standard instrument used across the Web (Wiki) to define color values. Adobe Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Photoshop and all other web editing programs use HEX values.

Examples of HEX codes include #FF0000 (Red), #000000 (Black), and #D2B48C (Tan).

To create specific Hex value, you might need a look up values on the internet (Wiki) or create them in a graphics application. You can use Adobe Fireworks, Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or many other programs to generate color HEX values. Most corporate brand standards include very specific HEX values.
