HTML Color Names and Codes
All 140 named HTML colors are listed below. You can use their name, hex code
or RGB value. Click on a color hex code to see the details.
Web colors are colors used in displaying web pages on the World Wide Web,
and the methods for describing and specifying those colors. Colors may be
specified as an RGB triplet or in hexadecimal format (a hex triplet) or according
to their common English names in some cases. A color tool or other graphics
software is often used to generate color values. In some uses, hexadecimal
color codes are specified with notation using a leading number sign (#).[1][2] A
color is specified according to the intensity of its red, green and blue
components, each represented by eight bits. Thus, there are 24 bits used to
specify a web color within the sRGB gamut, and 16,777,216 colors that may be
so specified.
Colors outside the sRGB gamut can be specified in Cascading Style Sheets by
making one or more of the red, green and blue components negative or greater
than 100%, so the color space is theoretically an unbounded extrapolation of
sRGB similar to scRGB.[3] Specifying a non-sRGB color this way requires the
RGB() function call. It is impossible with the hexadecimal syntax (and thus
impossible in legacy HTML documents that do not use CSS).
The first versions of Mosaic and Netscape Navigator used the X11 color names
as the basis for their color lists, as both started as X Window System
applications. Web colors have an unambiguous colorimetric definition, sRGB,
which relates the chromaticities of a particular phosphor set, a given transfer
curve, adaptive whitepoint, and viewing conditions.[4] These have been chosen
to be similar to many real-world monitors and viewing conditions, to allow
rendering to be fairly close to the specified values even without color
management. User agents vary in the fidelity with which they represent the
specified colors. More advanced user agents use color management to provide
better color fidelity; this is particularly important for Web-to-print applications.
