HTML Color Names
This table shows the 140 named colors supported by Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer (when employing Style Sheets). Colors marked with *asterisks* are also supported by Internet Explorer for all elements that support coloring. These color names are not supported by other browsers and their display will be unpredictable, unless the #rrggbb value is used instead, as it was here. Some colors look better against a black background.
