Problem Matching Prim Color to Skin

[Jennifer Boyle]

I had given up on match the color of prim feet to my skin, but I found a pair of mesh shoes that I REALLY wanted.  They, unlike the ones I 've seen before, had prim ankles, so they could eliminated the ugly misshapen ankles we have when we wear heels.  I got the demo and started working on matching the color, with the help of "color under cursor."  The RGB values of the color displayed was about 40% of the values entered.  That was OK, since I could fine tune it by comparing the two displayed RGB values and making adjustments.  Then I encountered a problem I don't know how to solve.  I set the R value for the prim to 255, but the R value for the displayed color is still less than the R value for the skin, so they don't match, but I can't make the R any higher.

Does anyone have a suggestion?  If I could make the color match they really would look good.
