If you even in a situation where it's not allocating the color you want it could be because of your images color allocation table. GIF and 8-bit PNG images are very susceptible to this.
If your using an GIF and PNG try dropping a color from the table, should let you allocate another.

If you're uncomfortable with using RGB codes you can bypass this function completely by assigning the hex values directly, two example replacements are:
<?php
//Equivalents
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$white = 0x00FFFFFF; //First two are alpha, then triplet
$grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 62, 62, 62);
$grey = 0x003E3E3E;
?>
This should work in all applications, as it seems that is all the function returns.

Two useful functions for convert integer from imageCollorAllocate to RGB hex (FFFFFF eg.) and to array of integers 0..255:
<?php
/**
* Convert color from imageColorAllocate() to hex in XXXXXX (eg. FFFFFF, 000000, FF0000)
*
* name: color2rgb
* author: Yetty
* @param $color value from imageColorAllocate()
* @return string; color in style XXXXXX (eg. FFFFFF, 000000, FF0000)
*/
function color2rgb($color) {
return str_pad(base_convert($color, 10, 16), 6, 0, STR_PAD_LEFT);
}
/**
* Convert color from hex in XXXXXX (eg. FFFFFF, 000000, FF0000) to array(R, G, B)
* of integers (0-255).
*
* name: rgb2array
* author: Yetty
* @param $color hex in XXXXXX (eg. FFFFFF, 000000, FF0000)
* @return string; array(R, G, B) of integers (0-255)
*/
function rgb2array($rgb) {
return array(
base_convert(substr($rgb, 0, 2), 16, 10),
base_convert(substr($rgb, 2, 2), 16, 10),
base_convert(substr($rgb, 4, 2), 16, 10),
);
}

Note that you can only assign 255 colors to any image palette. If you try assigning more, imagecolorallocate() will fail.
If, for example, you are randomly allocating colors, it will be wise to check if you have used up all of the colors possible. You can use imagecolorclosest() to get the closest assigned color:
<?php
//assign random rgb values
$c1 = mt_rand(50,200); //r(ed)
$c2 = mt_rand(50,200); //g(reen)
$c3 = mt_rand(50,200); //b(lue)
//test if we have used up palette
if(imagecolorstotal($pic)>=255) {
//palette used up; pick closest assigned color
$color = imagecolorclosest($pic, $c1, $c2, $c3);
} else {
//palette NOT used up; assign new color
$color = imagecolorallocate($pic, $c1, $c2, $c3);
}
?>
Also, imagecolorallocate() will assign a new color EVERY time the function is called, even if the color already exists in the palette:
<?php
// [...]
imagecolorallocate($pic,125,125,125); //returns 5
imagecolorallocate($pic,125,125,125); //returns 6
imagecolorallocate($pic,125,125,125); //returns 7
// [...]
imagecolorallocate($pic,125,125,125); //returns 23
imagecolorallocate($pic,125,125,125); //returns 25
// [...]
// etc...
?>
So here, imagecolorexact() is useful:
<?php
//see if color already exists
$color = imagecolorexact($pic, $c1, $c2, $c3);
if($color==-1) {
//color does not exist; allocate a new one
$color = imagecolorallocate($pic, $c1, $c2, $c3);
}
?>
And, for nerdy-ness sake, we can put the two ideas together:
<?php
//assign random rgb values
$c1 = mt_rand(50,200); //r(ed)
$c2 = mt_rand(50,200); //g(reen)
$c3 = mt_rand(50,200); //b(lue)
//get color from palette
$color = imagecolorexact($pic, $c1, $c2, $c3);
if($color==-1) {
//color does not exist...
//test if we have used up palette
if(imagecolorstotal($pic)>=255) {
//palette used up; pick closest assigned color
$color = imagecolorclosest($pic, $c1, $c2, $c3);
} else {
//palette NOT used up; assign new color
$color = imagecolorallocate($pic, $c1, $c2, $c3);
}
}
?>
Or as a function:
<?php
function createcolor($pic,$c1,$c2,$c3) {
//get color from palette
$color = imagecolorexact($pic, $c1, $c2, $c3);
if($color==-1) {
//color does not exist...
//test if we have used up palette
if(imagecolorstotal($pic)>=255) {
//palette used up; pick closest assigned color
$color = imagecolorclosest($pic, $c1, $c2, $c3);
} else {
//palette NOT used up; assign new color
$color = imagecolorallocate($pic, $c1, $c2, $c3);
}
}
return $color;
}
for($i=0; $i<1000; $i++) { //1000 because it is significantly greater than 255
//assign random rgb values
$c1 = mt_rand(50,200); //r(ed)
$c2 = mt_rand(50,200); //g(reen)
$c3 = mt_rand(50,200); //b(lue)
//generate the color
$color = createcolor($pic,$c1,$c2,$c3);
//do something with color...
}

Here's a very simple function that basically does the same as imagecolorallocate(), only without needing an image resource to work.
<?php
function createcolor($r, $g, $b) {
return hexdec(str_pad(dechex($r), 2, 0, STR_PAD_LEFT).str_pad(dechex($g), 2, 0, STR_PAD_LEFT).str_pad(dechex($b), 2, 0, STR_PAD_LEFT));
}
/* As said earlier, this function does the exact same thing as imagecolorallocate(), without needing an image resource. This means that the following two blocks of code result in the exact same thing: */
//Block 1
$color = colorcreate(105, 199, 204);
//Block 2
$img = imagecreatetruecolor(100, 100); //the arguments here don't really matter
$color = imagecolorallocate($img, 105, 199, 204);
imagedestroy($img);
?>

Little correction to marc-gutt's regural expression to validate hex color values. You can use this little function:
<?php
// Validate an hex color string. Return true if valid, false otherwise
function validateHexColor($color) {
$color = substr($color, 0, 7);
return preg_match('/#[0-9a-fA-F]{6}/', $color);
}
?>

I also find the following useful when dealing with HTML hexadecimal colors :
<?php
$color = '#FFffFF';
print_r(sscanf($color, '#%2x%2x%2x'));
?>
outputs :
Array
(
[0] => 255
[1] => 255
[2] => 255
)

When working on an existant GIF images, if the number of different colours has reached the limits of the GIF format, imagecolorallocate will not use to the colour you ask her within the parameters, she will apply black !
That's a problem when generating images "on-the-fly" with many manipulations, from a GIF image.
To go round the problem, you have to convert the GIF image into a PNG one, and then you can work on the PNG and everything will be ok.
For example :
<?php
// first, convert into a PNG image
$handle = imagecreatefromgif('my_image.gif');
imagepng($handle, 'my_image.png');
imagedestroy($handle);
// then, you can work on it
$handle = imagecreatefrompng('my_image.png');
/*
* work on the image
*/
imagegif($handle);

Lots of hsv2rgb commentary but no working example, so here's mine:
<?php // hsv2rgb example translated from ImageMagick C code

$s /= 256.0;
if ($s == 0.0) return array($v,$v,$v);
$h /= (256.0 / 6.0);
$i = floor($h);
$f = $h - $i;
$p = (integer)($v * (1.0 - $s));
$q = (integer)($v * (1.0 - $s * $f));
$t = (integer)($v * (1.0 - $s * (1.0 - $f)));
switch($i) {
case 0: return array($v,$t,$p);
case 1: return array($q,$v,$p);
case 2: return array($p,$v,$t);
case 3: return array($p,$q,$v);
case 4: return array($t,$p,$v);
default: return array($v,$p,$q);
}
}
$image = ImageCreateTrueColor(256,128);
for ($y=0; $y<64; $y++) for($x=0; $x<256; $x++){
list($r,$g,$b) = hsv2rgb($x | 7,255,($y*4) |7);
$color = ($r << 16 ) | ($g << 8) | $b;
imagesetpixel($image, $x, $y-4, $color);

rgb from hex without creating a new function or using split features:
<?php
$color = 'FF9900';
$color = imagecolorallocate($im, hexdec('0x' . $color{0} . $color{1}), hexdec('0x' . $color{2} . $color{3}), hexdec('0x' . $color{4} . $color{5}));
?>
You can validate $color with preg_match('#[a-z0-9]{6}#i', $color) if necessary.

Another solution to color limitation issues when creating gradients. This file takes width (px) and left and right colors (hex) and makes a gradient while only allocating 250 colors.
<?php
$leftR = hexdec(substr($_GET["left"],0,2));
$leftG = hexdec(substr($_GET["left"],2,2));
$leftB = hexdec(substr($_GET["left"],4,2));
$rightR = hexdec(substr($_GET["right"],0,2));
$rightG = hexdec(substr($_GET["right"],2,2));
$rightB = hexdec(substr($_GET["right"],4,2));
$image=imagecreate($_GET["width"],1);
for($i=0;$i<250;$i++) {
$colorset[$i] = imagecolorallocate($image, $leftR + ($i*(($rightR-$leftR)/250)), $leftG + ($i*(($rightG-$leftG)/250)), $leftB + ($i*(($rightB-$leftB)/250)));
}
for($i=0;$i<($_GET["width"]);$i++) {
imagesetpixel ($image, $i, 0, $colorset[(int)($i/($_GET["width"]/250))] );
}
header("Content-type: image/png");
imagepng($image);
imagedestroy($image);
?>
example: gradient.php?width=640&left=000000&right=FF0000
Makes a 640px-wide image that fades from black to red.

This might help someone who want to use 'ImageColorAllocate ' with a hex value
<?php
function ImageColorAllocateFromHex ($img, $hexstr)
{
$int = hexdec($hexstr);
return ImageColorAllocate ($img,
0xFF & ($int >> 0x10),
0xFF & ($int >> 0x8),
0xFF & $int);
}
?>

Also, when you need more then 256 colors, use imagecreatetruecolor function. With this function you can use unlimited number of colors.

$box = @imageftbbox($fontsize,0,$fontfile,$string,$line)
or die("ERROR");
$tw=$box[4]-$box[0]; //image width
$marginY = $imgH - (($imgH - $fontsize) / 2);
$imgWidth = $tw + (2*$marginX);
$im = ImageCreate($imgWidth, $imgH);
$int = hexdec($imgColorHex);
$arr = array("red" => 0xFF & ($int >> 0x10),
"green" => 0xFF & ($int >> 0x8),

Another more general variation on the theme using the same naming conventions as the hexdec and dechex built-in functions ...
Prototype:
array hexrgb ( string hex_string )
Returns:
An associative array of the RGB components specified in hex_string.
hexrgb() example:
<?php
$rgb = hexrgb("0xAABBCC");
print_r($rgb);
?>
Output is:
Array
(
[red] => 170
[green] => 187
[blue] => 204
)
Implementation:
<?php
function hexrgb ($hexstr)
{
$int = hexdec($hexstr);
return array("red" => 0xFF & ($int >> 0x10),
"green" => 0xFF & ($int >> 0x8),
"blue" => 0xFF & $int);
}
?>
The output of hexdec can then be passed to imagecolorallocate and manipulated as required.

}
array_push($color_array,$num);
}

$G = (($color_array[2] * 16) + $color_array[3]);

When you are using truecolor images, you can also use bitwise operations to generate the color:
<?php
$color = ($r << 16) | ($g << 8) | $b; // 2261213
?>
This is identical to the imagecolorallocate() function, in truecolor images!

This will let you tint an image to any specific color. The blacks of the source image become your specified color, and the whites remain white. Works best for colorizing greyscale images.
<?php

$b = 0;
$source_file = "picture.jpg";
$im_src = ImageCreateFromJpeg($source_file);
$im_tint = ImageCreate(imagesx($im_src),imagesy($im_src));

ImageColorAllocate($im_tint, max($r,$c), max($g,$c), max($b,$c));

Some of you maybe want to use HSV color model for drawing color selectors and circles:
<?php
function &colormap_hsv_to_rgb($h, $s, $v)
{
$ret = new stdClass();
if($s == 0)
{
$ret->r = $v;
$ret->g = $v;
$ret->b = $v;
return $ret;
}
else
{
$h = floatval($h) / 255.0;
$s = floatval($s) / 255.0;
$v = floatval($v) / 255.0;
$hue = $h;
if($hue == 1.0)
$hue = 0.0;
$hue *= 6.0;
$i = intval($hue);
$f = $hue - floatval($i);
$w = $v * (1.0 - $s);
$q = $v * (1.0 - ($s * $f));
$t = $v * (1.0 - ($s * (1.0 - $f)));
switch($i)
{
case 0: $ret->r = $v; $ret->g = $t; $ret->b = $w; break;
case 1: $ret->r = $q; $ret->g = $v; $ret->b = $w; break;
case 2: $ret->r = $w; $ret->g = $v; $ret->b = $t; break;
case 3: $ret->r = $w; $ret->g = $q; $ret->b = $v; break;
case 4: $ret->r = $t; $ret->g = $w; $ret->b = $v; break;
case 5: $ret->r = $v; $ret->g = $w; $ret->b = $q; break;
}
}
$ret->r = intval($ret->r * 255.0);
$ret->g = intval($ret->g * 255.0);
$ret->b = intval($ret->b * 255.0);
return $ret;
}
?>

this might help someone, how to allocate an color from an html color-definition:
<?php
$fg = "#ff0080";
$red = 100;
$green = 100;
$blue = 100;
if( eregi( "[#]?([0-9a-f]{2})([0-9a-f]{2})([0-9a-f]{2})", $fg, $ret ) )
{
$red = hexdec( $ret[1] );
$green = hexdec( $ret[2] );
$blue = hexdec( $ret[3] );
}
$text_color = ImageColorAllocate( $img1, $red, $green, $blue );

I was unable to get any of the posted methods for converting colour to grayscale to work. The problem appears to be the way gd creates images from jpeg inconsistently over various versions. Eventually I wrote my own that works for me - this approach allocates the 256 color pallete first. You can also play with separate $r, $g, $b variables before using imagecolorallocate in order to tone or tint the image.
<?php
$resource = 'whatever.jpg';
$im_size = GetImageSize($resource);
$imageWidth = $im_size[0];
$imageHeight = $im_size[1];
$im = imageCreate($imageWidth,$imageHeight);
for ($c = 0; $c < 256; $c++) {
ImageColorAllocate($im, $c,$c,$c);
}
$im2 = ImageCreateFromJpeg($resource);
ImageCopyMerge($im,$im2,0,0,0,0, $imageWidth, $imageHeight, 100);
ImageDestroy($im2);
?>
go on using $im as your image, it is now grayscale ....

a patch to php 4.3.0 to add imagecolorallocatealpha is here:
http://pointless.net/~jasper/php-4.3.0-imagecolorallocatealpha.patch
cd php-4.3.0/ext/gd
patch < path/to/patch
and recompile and reinstall.

Actually, you can't allocate more than 256 colours for an paletted image (ImageCreate).
Use ImageCreateTrueColor instead. For it to work, you need libgd version 2 support in php though.
