Below are all the named CSS colours. It is important to note that only seventeen of these—aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, orange, purple, red, silver, teal, white, and yellow—are a part of the W3C standard; the rest will raise errors in a CSS validator. If you want to have totally valid CSS, you'll have to use the Hex, RGB, or (if you happen to be using CSS 3), the HSL codes.
You can experiment with colour codes on the following pages: Red-Green-Blue and Hexadecimal Notation and Hue-Saturation-Lightness Notation (if your browser supports XHTML + SVG and CSS 3 Colours). The Colour Scheme Planner helps you choose a pleasing colour combination for your webpage.
| Name | Hex Code | RGB Code | HSL Code | Colour |
