CSS Level 1 supports only 16 named colors. However,
Netscape 4 and Internet Explorer 4 support these, but also support an
additional 124 name values. This document lists these names, and
provides a useful test of support for these values by your browser.
The following table used CSS rules to set the color
of the table background to the value named within the cell. Each color
is given twice: once using the color name, the second using the
hexadecimal code corresponding to this symbolic name. That is, the
name "aquamarine" and the hexadecimal code "7FFFD4"
should yield the same color.
NOTE 1 -- This
document is properly displayed only on those systems capable of
"thousands" of colors. If you system can only display 256
colors, some of the colors will be correct, but most will be not -- the
will be either dithered or substituted. In this case, this document is
not a good demonstration of the colors, but is a good demonstration of
dithering/substitution problems!
NOTE 2 -- The
color name aliceblue (the first color defined in the following
table), although defined in the extended list of named colors, has
never worked under Netscape browsers.
