HTML color codes are composed of hexadecimal triplets that are
represented by red, green and blue (rgb) colors. For example, the color
code for red is FF0000 which means “255” red, “0” green and “0” blue.

The color samples in the tables below are not images; they are generated by the HTML of this page. Colors can be produced for a number of page elements using the color names or RGB hexadecimal codes indicated in each of the samples.The use of HTML elements and attributes for specifying color is deprecated. You are encouraged to use css instead.
Of interest to UT Web authors/designers:
the University of Texas at Austin Visual Guidelines shows #CC5500
as offical "UT burnt orange." It may not appear so on
your screen; the wide disparity in color calibration among computer
monitors makes it difficult to predict how accurately color will
be rendered across the Web. It is best simply to specify the appropriate
color and not worry too much how the result will appear on a given
monitor (including your own!). In the future, support for the sRGB (Standard Default color Space for the Internet) and ICC color profiles should reduce this problem.
Named Colors
These 16 colors can be specified by name in HTML 4. The color names are case sensitive. So, for example, you could use either "#000000" or "Black" to refer to the color black.
| Color | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Aqua | Black | Blue | Fuchsia | Gray | Green | Lime | Maroon |
| RGB | #00FFFF | #000000 | #0000FF | #FF00FF | #808080 | #008000 | #00FF00 | #800000 |
| Color | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Navy | Olive | Purple | Red | Silver | Teal | White | Yellow |
| RGB | #000080 | #808000 | #800080 | #FF0000 | #C0C0C0 | #008080 | #FFFFFF | #FFFF00 |
RGB Hexadecimal Coded Colors
Colors may also be specified by six-character codes
representing
their relative red/green/blue (RGB) values, where the
possible values
for each color component are 00 to FF. 00 represent the
least amount of the color present and FF represents the most of that
color present. The first two bytes indicate the amount of red, the
second two bytes represent the amount of green and the last two bytes
represent the amount of blue.
| Red | Green | Blue |
|---|---|---|
| 00 | 00 | 00 |
Here are some simple examples:
- Red = #FF0000
- Green = #00FF00
- Blue = #0000FF
- Cyan (blue and green) = #00FFFF
- Magenta (red and blue) = #FF00FF
- Yellow (red and green) = #FFFF00
The number of possible colors represented by this system is 256 * 256 * 256 = 16.777,216
The six charts below display the 216 possible colors in the Netscape/MSIE
palette with their hexadecimal RGB codes (a seventh
chart displays the gray scale). In each chart the blue value
is constant, the vertical axis represents increasing red values,
and the horizontal axis represents increasing green values.
The six charts can be visualized as a cube composed of 216 cubelets;
the total cube has six layers of thirty-six cubelets; each cubelet
is a unique color. Using this metaphor, black (#000000) in the lower
left of the first chart is one corner of the cube and white (#ffffff)
in the upper right of the last chart is the opposite corner of the
cube; the cubelets running through the body of the cube in a line
from black to white comprise the gray scale.

HTML Attributes to Specify Color
If one of the following attributes is used,
they all should be specified in order to avoid color conflicts;
for example, you may assign a background color and a visitor may
have his/her browser set to display text in the same color, making
your page unreadable. All these attributes should be specified
in a single tag.
- sets the background color for the page as a whole.
- sets the text color for the page as a whole.
- sets the unvisited link color for the page as a whole.
- sets the visited link color for the page as a whole.
- sets the activated link color (i.e. the color of the link as users click on it) for the page as a whole.
- sample text
- sets the color of selected text within a page.
Although the following attributes are not included in the HTML 3.2
specification for
, | , and | elements, they are included in the HTML
4.0 proposal and have been supported by Netscape
since version 3.0 and by Internet
Explorer since version 2.0.
