What is the hexadecimal code of the "blue" background color of Facebook?

I want to开发者_如何学C color my mobile phone application with a background color like Facebook's blue background color. So what is the hexadecimal code of it ?

The colour of the main blue banner is #3b5999, and the lighter blue colour used for the backgrounds of comments is #eeeff4. A way to figure this stuff out is grab a screenshot and open it in image editing software that has a colour picker tool (e.g GIMP)

You can also use firebug, for firefox and it can show you the css attached to any element with the inspect tool.

Look at here: http://webdesign.about.com/od/colorpalettes/ig/Color-Palettes/facebookpalette.htm

Colors are:

#0x3b5998
#0x8b9dc3
#0xf7f7f7
#0xdfe3ee

the blue color used by facebook:

#3B5998

I know an answer has already been accepted. But for the sakes of other visitors, I believe the best authority on this issue is Facebook!! According to them, the official background colour is #3b5998. I quote here from https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/best-practices#buttondesign : "If you use a color, make sure it's the official Facebook blue; 3b5998. Otherwise stick with black and white. Color is one of the best ways for people to recognize something quickly."

I found the hex to be #4267b2 if you want to have the same color as the "like" and "share" buttons.

The color of facebook's background is #3b5998;

As of 2021, According to developers.facebook.com Facebook blue is
