HTML Colors
Colors are displayed combining RED, GREEN, and BLUE light.
Color Values
HTML colors are defined using a hexadecimal notation (HEX) for the combination of Red, Green, and Blue
color values (RGB).
The lowest value that can be given to one of the light sources is 0 (in HEX:
00). The highest value is 255 (in HEX: FF).
HEX values are specified as 3 pairs of two-digit numbers, starting with a # sign.

Cross-Browser Color Names
A collection of nearly 150 color names are supported by all major
browsers.

Web Standard Color Names
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has listed 16 valid color names for HTML
and CSS:
aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon,
navy, olive, purple, red, silver, teal, white, and yellow.
 Note: Different
browsers may display different colors for the same color name. "Green" can be
lighter in one browser than another. To achieve the same result in all browsers,
always use the HEX notation.
Web Safe Colors?
Some years ago, when computers supported max 256 different colors, a list of
216 "Web Safe Colors" was suggested as a Web standard, reserving 40 fixed system
colors.
The 216 cross-browser color palette was created to ensure that all computers
would display the colors correctly when running a 256 color palette.
This is not important today, since most computers can display millions of different colors.
Anyway, here is the list:
