This Web site will convert hexidecimal numbers to decimal numbers (and visa-versa):
http://www.statman.info/conversions/hexadecimal.html
Some programs (like Fireworks) displays RGB (red, green and blue) numbers in hexidecimal (base 16), not decimal. Campaign Cartographer 3 requires decimal (our "normal" base 10 number system) numbers in the RGB fields in color definitions. Sometimes I like to make custom color palettes for maps in CC3 based on something I've seen elsewhere. I open the file in Fireworks, use the eyedropper tool to select the color(s) I like, and copy down the hexidecimal RGB numbers corresponding to that color. Then I convert them on the Web site above to decimal and enter those in CC3.
If anyone would like to learn more about creating their own custom color palettes in CC3, see these Help topics (search for them in the Index view):

- custom palette
Help is available for CC3 both in the program on the Help menu and online:
