I think them puppies are sampled at Quantum Potato Hotspots, such that 
you will be doing Thus:

red = 24123\256

r$ = Right$(Hex$(red),2)

Demo (Fb3 Console)


DIM red   as long
DIM green as long
DIM blue  as long

DIM r$,g$,b$,htmlrgb$

red   = 24123 >> 8 // Convert to 0-255
green = 12000 >> 8
blue  = 32000 >> 8

print red
print green
print blue

r$ = Right$(Hex$(red),2)
print r$
g$ = Right$(Hex$(green),2)
print g$
b$ = Right$(Hex$(blue),2)
print b$

htmlrgb$ = r$+g$+b$

print htmlrgb$
