Color Reference Tables
This page contains some tables that demonstrate the different colors that are supported by various browsers. By looking at this page, you will be able to see at a glance which colors are supported by your own browser and which are not.
[ HTML Colors ] [ Other Colors ] [ Netscape Colors ] [ Links ]HTML Colors
The following is a table of the standard HTML colors. You will note that for all of these colors, coding with the hex value has the same result as coding with the color name ( At least in Netscape ).

The following is a table of colors that I aquired from another source. Some of these color names are color names recognized by Netscape and some are not. You will notice that, in this table, some of the color names work better than the hex value and vice-versa.
