Each colour carries the logos of the organization(s)
supporting it.
This table does not always display correctly. It is
best viewed on an 800x600 screen in 256 colours.
Note: If you need more information
about colours, I highly recommend this
explanation of colour by: Gernot Metze. He
includes six hex colour charts that provide most of the usable WWW colours. Go to the
bottom of the page for the colour charts. The top of the page is an excellent background
on colour and its use. Denis Wieger's
page examines colour as it is used by different types of computers and addresses the
Mac/PC colour compatibility question. This question of different platforms and their
presentation of colour are addressed by W3C in their document "A Standard Default color Space for
the Internet". Detailed explanations and more links are available at that site.
Netscape in its 3.0bx documentation specifies
"aliceblue" as "#f0f8ff". WebTV defines the same "aliceblue"
as "#a0ce00". Take your pick.
The WebTV 1.2 specification is used in this chart.
WebTV in its "HTML Color Names" document gives two spellings for colours
containing the word "grey". For example, "darkgray" and
"darkgrey". Both are presented here. Please note not all browsers support
"grey", only "gray".
Microsoft Internet Explorer recognized only 16 colours
with its MSIE 3.x revision. The MSIE 4.x recognized all colours documented in its
HTMLHelp.exe help file version 4.00.
