500+ Colours

This page lists over 500 colours by colour name, Hex value, RGB value and Microsoft Access code number. 

You cannot specify these colours in HTML and CSS by their colour name but you can use their RGB hexadecimal value, eg:

In HTML4 you can type:        <font color="#800080">

In HTML5 you should use:        <p style="color: #800080"> 

In CSS you can also use RGB decimal values, eg:

        P { color: rgb(128,0,128); }        or        

        P { color: #800080; }        or

For details of colour names you can use in your HTML and CSS code, see the section on named colours.  (Colours marked with an asterisk* are included in the VGA colour set).
