I see this as well. It appears we don't have permission to view this page (https://teamtreehouse.com/styleguide). I'll tag Ben Jakuben here so that he can take a look into it. In the meantime, you can always use the color codes Ben shows on the video and enter them instead (e.g: #ff51b46d).

I created a stand-by page to use until that style guide page is ready for the public. Sorry for the confusion!

Sorry about that! Turns out it's set for internal use only right now. I'm talking with the design team about opening it up to all students. In the mean time, please follow Harry's suggestion. :)

Here, I've used the eyedropper tool in Photoshop with a screenshot from the video (http://gyazo.com/58fc5d90bc9b15cb94cc831833df1c0d) to get the hexadecimal colour values

Sadly, these don't seem to be the exact colours, but they're near enough for now :)

  • Light blue: #44b5ce
  • Dark blue: #377ca8
  • Dark pink: #ba4c72
  • Pinkish red: #d44159
  • Orange: #f2795c
  • Light purple: #828ac4
  • Dark purple: #79619c
  • Turquoise: #5dc5b3
  • Green: #58c370
  • Yellow: #d9ae23
  • Dark blue: #68788f
  • Light pink: #e886ab
  • Grey with a little blue: b8bfc7

Hopefully Ben can get the design team to change the permissions for the page but until then, just use these. Oh and if you were wondering, they are in the same order that they are displayed in on the styleguide

EDIT: Ben has put the exact codes in the teacher notes at http://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-simple-android-app-new/creating-the-screen-layout/setting-colors

#39add1 // light blue
#3079ab // dark blue
#c25975 // mauve
#e15258 // red
#f9845b // orange
#838cc7 // lavender
#7d669e // purple
#53bbb4 // aqua
#51b46d // green
#e0ab18 // mustard
#637a91 // dark gray
#f092b0 // pink
#b7c0c7 // light gray
