<h2>W3C Standard Color Names</h2> <p>W3C has listed 16 color names that will validate with an HTML validator.</p> <p>The color names are: aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple, red, silver, teal, white, and yellow.</p>

<h2>Cross-browser Color Names</h2> <p>A collection of nearly 150 color names are supported by all major browsers.</p> <p>View the HtmlCrossBrowserColorNames</p>

<h2>Cross-browser Color Values</h2> <p>Some years ago, when most computers only supported 256 different colors, a list of 216 Web Safe Colors was suggested as a Web standard. The reason for this was that the Microsoft and Mac operating system used 40 different &quot;reserved&quot; fixed system colors (about 20 each).</p> <p>We are not sure how important this is now, since most computers today have the ability to display millions of different colors, but the choice is left to you.</p> <p>The 216 cross-browser color palette was created to ensure that all computers would display the colors correctly when running a 256 color palette:</p>
