Color Names
You define colors in HTML and XHTML using either a color name or a color
value. HTML and XHTML support a list of 16 basic color names. Most browsers
also support an extended set of color names. The following table lists these extended
color names, along with RGB and hexadecimal values for each color. The sixteen color names
supported by HTML and XHTML are highlighted in the table. Web-safe colors are displayed in a
bold font.
