Adding colour to your lenses!

So, you want to add some colour to your lenses! But, you can't be bothered to remember the hex codes for the colours you want.

Well, just for you there's a nice chart here of the colours names that are recognized. Yes, that's right -- no need to remember the number and letter codes. Just type in the name of the colour you want to use, and there it is! What could be easier? It's just the thing for new (and not so new) lensmasters!

Note: this isn't every colour, just the common ones.
