Not quite there

Can any one help me?

I'm wanting the code for a paler purple ........... something like the colour 'purity' here on the Purple Dulux colour chart.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

If not then I'll have to go back to shocking Pink, and you KNOW you don't like that!

Update

Right, thanks to Shaky for his colour skills. I also stumbled across this page of colours which was a great help as well. It's a bit like when I was a teenager and decided I wanted to paint my bedroom walls red, colours seem a lot different when they cover a big area!
I shall stop fiddling for now and see how I like this new layout and colour, well I can hardly paint my rented flat purple can I! hmmmmmm or can I :)

That Purity colour is #D6C8E0.

Take a screen capture of the page containing the colour you want, then use Photoshop or some other image editor and use the eyedropper tool thing to pick the colour. I know Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro have this tool.

You should then be able to see the RGB values of the colour. In this case, R:214 G:200 B:224

Then use an RGB->HEX converter like http://www.321webmaster.com/colorconverter.php

Thanks, it turns out that 'purity' comes out as a dusky pink when used all over ........ am looking else where for a white with a hint of lilac.

The colour is called "Purity"...there is a line there, but I think I'll leave it well enought alone.
