Colours Listing
| This is a list of colours that were extracted from a listing prepared by Web-Aid. What I discovered is that the Hex values did not necessarily correspond to the colours presented with the colour names. This table is re-arranged to display both the colours as names (the left column) and hex values (right column). The icons demonstrate the colours that were recognized by Netscape and those that were recognized by MSIE. This table does not always display correctly. It is best viewed on an 800x600 screen. Note: If you need more information about colours, I highly recommend this explanation of colour by: Gernot Metze. He includes six hex colour charts that provide most of the usable WWW colours. Go to the bottom of the page for the colour charts. The top of the page is an excellent background on colour and its use. Denis Wieger's page examines colour as it is used by different types of computers and addresses the Mac/PC colour compatibility question. |
