I'm trying to redesign my blog template... I've been using a TABLE layout, but to ensure that the text remains readable in all browsers, I need to change it to a CSS absolute positioning deal.

The code I got for it uses 3 digits (or letters) for the color codes. I've tried a Google search for an appropriate color wheel with no luck.

Can any of you recommend a resource for this?

I have no idea what your talking about, could you tell us where you got the script maybe?

I believe you are talking about the hex color codes shorthand. The "safe" color codes are all in the format #2266CC and the like.

If the numbers are repeated in pairs, you can shorthand the color like this:
#2266CC = #26C
A full color code table can be found here (http://www.lynda.com/hexh.html)
