Which, I might add, is very useful for this.
To help me along, I've been using some stencils:
- jQmobile
- iPhone 5 UI
- Mobile - iPhone
- Best Practice UX Forms Stencil v2.0
- Ultimate iPhone
All pretty cool.
But when I came to actually creating some of the layouts to HTML and specifically CSS, I found getting the colors from the Color Picker crayons to hex values was irritating. I did try ColorPicker from RubiCode.com, but in the end I just built a table.
For my reference and for anyone else who needs a visual representation of those crayons I put this together:
| Cayenne #800000 | Clover #008000 | Midnight #000080 | Tin #7F7F7F | ||||||
| Asparagus #808000 | Teal #008080 | Plum #800080 | Nickel #808080 | ||||||
| Mocha #804000 | Moss #008040 | Eggplant #400080 | Steel #666666 | ||||||
| Fern #408000 | Ocean #004080 | Maroon #800040 | Aluminum #999999 | ||||||
| Marascino #FF0000 | Spring #00FF00 | Blueberry #0000FF | Iron #4C4C4C | ||||||
| Lemon #FFFF00 | Turquoise #00FFFF | Magenta #FF00FF | Magnesium #B3B3B3 | ||||||
| Tangerine #FF8000 | Sea Foam #00FF80 | Grape #8000FF | Tungsten #333333 | ||||||
| Lime #80FF00 | Aqua #0080FF | Strawberry #FF0080 | Silver #CCCCCC | ||||||
| Salmon #FF6666 | Flora #66FF66 | Orchid #6666FF | Lead #191919 | ||||||
| Banana #FFFF66 | Ice #66FFFF | Bubblegum #FF66FF | Mercury #E6E6E6 | ||||||
| Cantaloupe #FFCC66 | Spindrift #66FFCC | Lavender #CC66FF | Licorice #000000 | ||||||
| Honeydew #CCFF66 | Sky #66CCFF | Carnation #FF6FCF | Snow #FFFFFF | ||||||
For reference, here is the CSS used for the above table for your cut-n-paste convenience:

here is a two-dimensional array of 42 of those colors. They are "sorted" by hand (so not very sorted).
