HTML Color Codes

There are 216 web-safe colors. The term "web-safe" means that these colors will look the same regardless of which browser your audience is using (Explorer, Netscape, FireFox, Safari and others). The only rendering differences would be according to how each visitor adjusts his or her individual computer, over which you have no control. Using web-safe colors is not a requirement, but certainly a good 'safe' starting point.

The HTML Color Code Chart below arranges the web-safe colors by hue; each cell is produced by the color code shown within. HTML color codes are numbers and/or letters used to affect the appearance of web pages, primarily for fonts and background colors. An example of use might be on a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) to render all of your website's <H1> tags as medium blue.

It might look like this on your Style Sheet:
H1 {color: #0066ff}
The code on your web page would look like this:
<H1>Words Between Tags</H1>
Your audience would see this:
Words Between Tags  

HTML Color Code Chart:

Primary colors and complements are in bold italic. Neutrals (black, white and gray) are shown in bold red.

HTML COLOR CODES TIPS:
If you specify a background color or image, but don't specify your font and link colors, the user's default font and link colors will be used against your chosen background color. It might happen that there won't be enough contrast between the user's default text and link colors and your background color or image. Your text and links might disappear or take on an odd appearance. The rule of thumb is that if you set one color, then you need to control all the colors on your website. This is easiest to do with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
