the color of the code does not match that of the web, it is a little lighter - lopsided - 10-23-2022
Hello, I wanted to fill the bottom part of an image with the background color. But I select the color that I put in the background and fill with it but it is not the same as the background, but it is a little lighter, as you can see in the photo. can this be resolved?

With the GIMP color picker you can see the lighter color is 243,241,252 (RGB) and the darker one is 238,238,238 (RGB).
Probably you haven't changed the background color accordingly to the one of the source image.
You can set the GIMP color picker not just to pick a color but to "Set foreground color" or "Set background color"

lopsidedhow can you set the rgb codes to pick a color?
In GIMP there is a tool "color picker". It's a pipette to get colors of a pixel or an area and to set foreground or background colors accordingly.
A way to set the foreground or background color by entering the RGB - values is the "foreground & background color" [attachment=8901]
You will get this

There you can set the values for R and G and B. (0..100 means percent, 0..255 means absolute values)

With my Firefox, colors looks similar with the background, on the other hand your css does not do well with it, image is cut

That's what I did :
- get the color with the 'color picker' (1)
- select the 2 grey areas with the 'Fuzzy Select Tool' (2) (threshold 10)
- fill the 2 grey areas with the 'Bucket fill tool' (3)
- unselect : Select / None
