Netscape Color Names

The following names can be used in "COLOR=" and "BGCOLOR=" attributes for HTML tags that support these attributes. Red, Green, and Blue values are given (decimal only) along with the color names. This name set was proposed by Netscape with the release of Navigator 1.1. All later versions of Navigator support the names, as do Microsoft browsers version 3.0 and later.

Note that most of these colors are not within the set of 216 Web-safe values. Safe colors are marked with an asterisk.
