Re: Fontify: coloring rgb hex code by its value

[Chris McMahan <first_initiallastname@one.dot.net>]

Here's what I have in my .emacs (I culled of the net somewhere a while back).

I'm sure you can adapt this to whatever mode you want.

;;;======================================================================
;;; automatically color hex color strings
(defvar hexcolor-keywords
  '(("#[abcdef[:digit:]]\\{6\\}"
     (0 (put-text-property (match-beginning 0)
			   (match-end 0)
			   'face (list :background
				       (match-string-no-properties 0)))))))

(defun hexcolor-add-to-font-lock ()
  (font-lock-add-keywords nil hexcolor-keywords))
(add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'hexcolor-add-to-font-lock)
(add-hook 'nxml-mode-hook 'hexcolor-add-to-font-lock)
