HTML Colors
Colors are displayed
combining RED, GREEN, and BLUE light sources.
Color
Values
HTML colors can be
defined as a hexadecimal notation for the combination of Red, Green, and Blue
color values (RGB). The lowest value that can be given to one light source is 0
(hex #00) and the highest value is 255 (hex #FF).
The table below shows
the result of combining Red, Green, and Blue light sources:.

W3C Standard Color Names
W3C has listed 16 color
names that will validate with an HTML validator.
The color names are:
aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple,
red, silver, teal, white, and yellow.
Cross-browser Color
Names
A collection of nearly
150 color names are supported by all major browsers.
Cross-browser Color
Values
Some years ago, when
most computers only supported 256 different colors, a list of 216 Web Safe
Colors was suggested as a Web standard. The reason for this was that the
Microsoft and Mac operating system used 40 different "reserved" fixed
system colors (about 20 each).
We are not sure how
important this is now, since most computers today have the ability to display
millions of different colors, but the choice is left to you.
The 216 cross-browser
color palette was created to ensure that all computers would display the colors
correctly when running a 256 color palette:
