Named HTML Colors
The W3C controls the naming of Web-based colors. Their 14 May 2003 CSS3 Color Module Recommendation defines these 140 named colors.
The table below details the named colors. There are 2 sections to the table: (1) Colors sorted by name; & (2) Colors sorted by HEX values.
W3Schools also provides a list of these colors on its HTML Color Names page. This page has one outstanding feature: Clicking the link for each color name or HEX value displays the selected color as background, & all other colors in the foreground. Thus, this feature aids in choosing a good background color for a Web site. This feature is incorporated into the table below; ie, the URLs link to the appropriate W3Schools' page.
One minor caveat. W3Schools includes 3 colors that are not official Named HTML colors: Feldspar, LightSlateBlue, & VioletRed. These 3 colors do not appear in the table below.
The table supplies the decimal value for all colors. It also notes the colors included in any NN% Increment color scheme.
