Ultimate HTML Color HEX Code List

By COLOURlover // 30 June, 2007

30 comments

HTML 3.2 specifications identified sixteen colors that can be used by name to define color in HTML and CSS. But don't worry you can use more than sixteen colors in HTML... you'll just need to know the six character HEX values and we've listed pretty much all of the ones you'll need on one page.

Standard 16 Named Color Codes

Black or 000000	Gray or 808080	Silver or C0C0C0	White or FFFFFF
Navy or 000080	Blue or 0000FF	Teal or 008080	Aqua or 00FFFF
Purple or 800080	Maroon or 800000	Red or FF0000	Fuschia or FF00FF
Green or 008000	Lime or 00FF00	Olive or 808000	Yellow or FFFF00

I thought all hex code colors can be used in html and css?

COLOURlover

Posted 30 Jun, 2007

Yeah they can... but older computers might not recognize them. Technology is improving pretty rapidly, and it wasn't all that long ago when I had to worry about if the colors we were using in a web design were using the 216 WebSafe colors... thankfully those days are over and you're free to use any of the 16 Million colors that you want.

this site would be the absolute best resource for anyone, wouldn't it?!

great chart, btw.

I'm not sure I'd call it "Ultimate". These guys have NAMED every websafe color, and have a good start on some random nonwebsafe colors...like here.

The link is to MY submitted color names that I have credit for. See the colors link at the bottom for the websafe colors and nonwebsafe colors.

Let's see if I can make that clickable...

Hexagonal Hues retsof color names -- see "colors" link at the bottom

It's not obvious what's going on with some of the color names unless you see the hex codes...which are posted in the color pages.

And then ... there's my own MOTHER OF ALL HTML COLO(U)R CHARTS It's massive enough, but still needs a lot of expansion in places. Some of the reference links have also gone away.

lizcrimson

Posted 30 Jun, 2007

what i mean be absolute best is that we have 252,833+ colours on this site. is there any other site with that many at your disposal?!!!?

retsof

Posted 1 Jul, 2007

Colors and palettes here are coming very fast, compared to the old place. There are still millions left to name, though.

darius, what was the criteria for which colours to include in your chart? i guess i just don't understand HTML, etc. (i'm so old school!)

COLOURlover

Posted 1 Jul, 2007

The top 2 charts... 16 Named & WebSafe were looking back and the restrictions we used to have... the other several hundred were just a nice display of some colors.

lizcrimson

Posted 1 Jul, 2007

"a nice display" is an understatement. i love it. it must have been hard to choose.

i was just thinking the other day about the chart that was on the old site when i started - all the colours listed with just teeny tiny chips. that's how i started making palettes! i was wondering if there's anything like that now. probably not since there are sooooooo many colours.

This is an excellent resource - the most comprehensive, clear and well laid out chart I have come across.

Thx, Great article!

Actually, modern browsers also honour a list of colour names taken from the X11 colour list. This list happens to be enshrined in the SVG and CSS3 specs and provides about 150 more colours by name.

Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web-safe_color for more information.
