Basic 16 Color Chart

There are 16 basic color names that should be recognized by all conforming web browsers.

Black	Maroon	Green	Navy
Gray	Red	Lime	Blue
Silver	Purple	Olive	Teal
White	Fuchsia	Yellow	Aqua

In addition to the basic 16, over 100 other color names have been assigned to work in particular web browsers. However, since these other color names do not always look the same in different web browsers, you should avoid using them. If you want to create a specific color for your web pages, then you should create it using the hexadecimal code.
