Windows Server 2008 and R2 Default Background Colors

Have you ever changed the default Windows Server 2008 desktop color and wanted to change it back? The blueish-green color is not shown in the default palette, so you have to enter the RGB values manually.

Red = 29
Green = 95

Red = 58
Green = 110
Blue = 165

Red = 1
Green = 36
Blue = 86 Posted by Jeff Guillet 12:16 PM
