If the target of the htmlText is a LiveCode field, I don't know of a method
built into the LC engine, but it's easy enough to script:
function RGBtoHex pColor
repeat for each item tVal in pColor
get baseConvert(tVal, 10, 16)
if len(it) < 2 then put 0 before it
put it after tHex
end repeat
return "#"& tHex
end RGBtoHex
If the target of the htmlText is a browser widget, the browser engine's
built-in "rgb" CSS function can do this:
<html>
<div style="background-color:rgb(130,30,230)"> Hello </div>
</html>
