Netscape's Special Color Names and Values
A list of more than 100 color names accepted by Netscape in lieu of the familiar Hex triplets is at ns3names.html. Some users may find it easier to use, for example, 'darkorange' than 'FF8C00' when describing the color of text and backgrounds in their HTML pages. Along with each color name is a swatch of color, its Hex triplet, its RGB value, and the closest approximation of that named color to a color in the Netscape non-dithering palette with its Hex and RGB values. In addition, the palette number of that color is provided for Macromedia Director's Macintosh and Windows system palettes and for SuperCard's Macintosh system palette. You need Navigator 3.0 to see the color swatches (this HTML document uses the BGCOLOR= attribute of the <TABLE> tag); if you are running Navigator 2.0, you will still see the text of the entire table. Navigator may run a bit slowly while it calculates colors and processes this large table.
