Color Charts

  • By Webmonkey Staff


When you’re adding a color to your web page with HTML, sometimes you can just type in the name of the color. But more often than not, you’ll need to use what’s called the hex code, which is something that the browser will be able to understand. Choose a color from the list below and look to its left to get the hex code. If we wanted our background to be red, for example, we’d type bgcolor=”#FF0000″. Try it out!

    Whats funny is you took the time to BOTHER to comment on what other had to say! DORK!
  • Typegeek
    I can't believe your putting this over as a useful colour chart. It will help for beginners, but anyone looking for HTML colours is better off looking at W3Schools: http://w3schools.com/html/html_colors.asp or go straight to colour names which are supported by most browsers: http://w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp

    Your page above only has 10 colour names!
