HTML Colors

Below are the most used standard web colors supported by most browsers. There are three ways to define a color.

The name of the color. Most browsers support - at least - the colornames shown below.
In hexadecimal format: #rrggbb. This is the recommended way because it's best supported by browsers and allows you to define any color, not just a few predefined colors.
The decimal rgb(rr,gg,bb) format. Personally I think it's a little less clear - and less compact - as the hex format. Also some browsers might not support this format.

With both methods 2 and 3 let you mix three primary colors: red, green and blue. rgb(0,0,0) means none of these colors, which results in black. In contrast: rgb(255,255,255) is all three colors fully mixed, resulting in pure white. Hexadecimal numbers range from 00 to FF, while their decimal counterparts are 0 and 255.

aqua	#00FFFF	rgb(0,255,255)
black	#000000	rgb(0,0,0)

purple	#800080	rgb(128,0,128)
red	#FF0000	rgb(255,0,0)
silver	#C0C0C0	rgb(192,192,192)
teal	#008080	rgb(0,128,128)
white	#FFFFFF	rgb(255,255,255)
