Extended Color Names in CSS

CSS Level 1 supports only 16 named colors. However, Netscape 4 and Internet Explorer 4 support these, but also support an additional 124 name values. This document lists these names, and provides a useful test of support for these values by your browser.

The following table used CSS rules to set the color of the table background to the value named within the cell. Each color is given twice: once using the color name, the second using the hexadecimal code corresponding to this symbolic name. That is, the name "aquamarine" and the hexadecimal code "7FFFD4" should yield the same color.

NOTE 1 -- This document is properly displayed only on those systems capable of "thousands" of colors. If you system can only display 256 colors, some of the colors will be correct, but most will be not -- the will be either dithered or substituted. In this case, this document is not a good demonstration of the colors, but is a good demonstration of dithering/substitution problems!

NOTE 2 -- The color name aliceblue (the first color defined in the following table), although defined in the extended list of named colors, has never worked under Netscape browsers.
