> walk across the hall to get the hex codes for the other color
What’s messing with me is that you seemed to have a computer that drew hex colors. Also, you knew the hex value you wanted. Kinda hate second guessing your actions from the 20th century but why did you walk?
There was a green version as well. I don't really remember why I didn't have a green graphic that I could pull the correct values from. I just recall going across the hall to talk about a Green version of the graphic and with the designer we changed the value in the SVG code instead of Illustrator (Or whatever program he was using.)
As for "Why walk across the hall?", there are times when going to someone's desk to discuss a situation is faster and more effective than an email or a chat.
