description
This will add a menu item in gvim called 'Color' that will allow you to insert a web style hex color value (like '#ffffff'), or python RGB tuple (like (255,255,255) ) after the current line (if you know how to insert at current position, send me an email: david.konsumer at gmail. )

Included is a python script called 'color_select' that requires pygtk.

In windows, you could write one using VB, or install python and pygtk to use it.

Maybe eventually I'll write a wxwindows dialog for everybody.

The reason I did this, instead of using http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=927 was that I wanted to be able to grab color values from the screen, and I like the gtk2 color dialog alot.

I tested this on Debian unstable with gvim 6.3, python  2.3.4 and pygtk 2.
 
install details
On linux, Put color_select in your path and chmod 755 it.
Put pygtk_color.vim into your plugin folder (~/.vim/plugin/ or /usr/share/vim/vim63/plugin/ for me.)
