HTML color
While specifying colors in an HTML page, you can follow three approaches.
1. You can specify a color by using rgb value . For example rgb(255,255,255) indicates white.
2. You can specify a color by using color name. For example white indicates white.
3. You can specify a color by using hex color value. For example #FFFFFF indicates white.
World Wide Web Consortium specifies following sixteen colors to be used on HTML 4.01 pages-
| color name | Hex value |
|---|---|
| Black | #000000 |
| Silver | #C0C0C0 |
| Gray | #808080 |
