| - In HTML, documents using 4.01 specifications colors can be specified by name. Names are defined in this context to be case-insensitive. Using colors in HTML has been deprecated in favor of CSS. These 16 were also specified as sRGB and included in the HTML 3.0 specification which noted "These colors were originally picked as being the standard 16 colors supported with the Windows VGA palette." Fuchsia is exactly the same as magenta (in the list below) and similarly aqua is exactly the same as cyan. All major browsers support an extended (nonstandard) set of names, the X11 color names as specified in CSS3.
- The HTML 4.01 specification defines sixteen named colors, as follows (names are defined in this context to be case independent; the table is alphabetically ordered): These 16 were also specified as sRGB and included in the HTML 3.0 specification which noted "These colors were originally picked as being the standard 16 colors supported with the Windows VGA palette." It should be noted that fuchsia is exactly the same as magenta (in the list below) and similarly aqua is exactly the same as cyan. It should be mentioned that all color values from #000000 - #FFFFFF (16,777,216 colors) are valid. Nonstandard HTML recognizes other X11 color names, including "orange," "darkgray" (which, ironically, is lighter than gray), "darkorange," "lightgray," "darkgreen," "beige," "tan," "brown" and others.
