Web Color Reference

Proprietary Color Names

Internet Explorer provides many additional color names since version 4.0. Using these names is a bad idea, since not every browser understands them, and I can't really blame any piece of software that is puzzled by "bisque." They are provided here to aid porting to numerical color notations, as well as for entertainment value. Personally, "darkgoldenrod" just cracks me up.

Netscape also has a host of color names, many of them shared with IE, but I have been unable to find a canonical source listing the numerical values for these. If you have one, please contact me and I'll add the information to this page.
