Color Samples

This is a table of all possible colors consisting of 00, 80, and FF. The names of HTML 4.0 standard colors follow the corresponding color entry.

Note: these colors will look different with different backgrounds. For instance, if the entry for silver (#C0C0C0) was silver-colored like the other entries, it would be invisible against the background. So if you use color, you should probably set the body background color, <BODY bgcolor="#nnnnnn">, or use a pattern.

#000000 Black #000080 Navy #0000FF Blue
#008000 Green #008080 Teal #0080FF
#00FF00 Lime #00FF80 #00FFFF Aqua
 
#800000 Maroon #800080 Purple #8000FF
#808000 Olive #808080 Gray #8080FF
#80FF00 #80FF80 #80FFFF
 
#FF0000 Red #FF0080 #FF00FF Fuchsia
#FF8000 Orange* #FF8080 #FF80FF
#FFFF00 Yellow #FFFF80 #FFFFFF White

HTML 4.0 also defines #C0C0C0 Silver (the background color of this page).

*The color name Orange is not defined in HTML 4.0, but it is so common and useful, I assigned it to a standard color in the table. Cascading style sheets define orange as #FFA500.
