COMPLETE TABLE OF HTML COLOR NAMES

The table below illustrates the need for The International Color Name Registry's existence. It shows the many discrepancies present in books and on the internet. There can be two or three different hex codes for a single name. The are also cases where two different names are used for the same hexadecimal code. We will try to clear up these discrepancies as much as possible when these names are registered.

The names of the colors are listed in the column on the left and the background color of the boxes was made by using the color name instead of the hexadecimal code. If two different names are being used for the same hex code, the second name will be in parentheses next to the first. The column to the right of it lists the Front Page supported hexadecimal codes and the background color of those boxes were made using the hexadecimal code shown. .

The last two columns list other hexadecimal codes which have been found in various books and websites which show that hexadecimal code to be the code used for that particular color name. Once again, the color of the box was made by using the hexadecimal code shown. Click on the hexadecimal codes to see the complete data for each color.

For example, Front Page uses the hexadecimal code F0F8FF for the color Alice Blue. Another source states that the hexadecimal code F0F8FE is the code for Alice Blue. In this particular case, there may have been a simple misprint where the last letter of the hexadecimal code; "F" was mistakenly changed to "E". The mistake may have then been copied by others. However in other cases, the hex codes are completely different from each other. `

If you know of other discrepancies, please e-mail them to us along with the source where you found it and we will add it to this table. To see a table listing only the Front Page supported names, click here. To se a table listing only non Front Page names, click here.
