The Use of Color Names
2 | 3 | 3.2 | IE2 | M3 | N2: In addition to supporting explicit Red-Green-Blue color value expressions, some browsers are also adding support for colors specified by named values. This DOES decrease the need to memorize how the original but cryptic hexadecimal values are created, but there is a cost: Most browsers only support up 16 basic color names [shown below] while Netscape browsers 2.0 and above support an increased color name palette of 140 total colors.

Tags that use Color Attributes: <Basefont>, <Body>, <Font>, <Hr>, <Marquee>, <Table>, <Td>, <Th>, <Tr>
