I am trying to find the color of paper from a paperback novel. Maybe it is a stupid question but I am working on a program in my spare time that provides a large number of pages for a user to read through and am looking for the comfortably familiar color of a well worn paperback novel. My scanner seems to bleach the pages I have tried to sample. (looking for a sheepish emoticon right now)

Each parameter (red, green, and blue) defines the intensity of the color with a value between 0 and 255. This means that there are 256 x 256 x 256 = 16777216 possible colors! For example, rgb(255, 0, 0) is displayed as red, because red is set to its highest value (255), and the other two (green and blue) are set to 0.
The hexadecimal color code #f2eecb is a very light shade of yellow. In the RGB color model #f2eecb is comprised of 94.9% red, 93.33% green and 79.61% blue. In the HSL color space #f2eecb has a hue of 54° (degrees), 60% saturation and 87% lightness.
The RGB color 255, 255, 255 is a light color, and the websafe version is hex FFFFFF, and the color name is white. A complement of this color would be 255, 255, 255, and the grayscale version is 255, 255, 255.
What is RGB? RGB is an additive system that uses varying intensities of red, green, and blue to create color on a digital screen. Essentially, RGB colors begin as a true shade of black.
There really isn't a single color that matches a paperback novel -- a gradient or textured pattern would be better to get the effect you are looking for. (Although, speaking only for myself -- I find that plain black text on a white background to be the easiest to read on the screen or off of it. The font face makes a greater difference than the background color, IMHO.)
