W3C specification officially supports names of only 16 colors. Names of these HTML colors can be used instead of color codes in all HTML tags, namely to define color of fonts, tables, backgrounds etc. 16 colors can be used safely with all major web page browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari and others.

Color Values
HTML colors are defined using a hexadecimal notation (HEX) for the combination of Red, Green, and Blue color values (RGB).
The lowest value that can be given to one of the light sources is 0 (in HEX: 00). The highest value is 255 (in HEX: FF).
Tip: The 16 basic color names are: aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple, red, silver, teal, white, and yellow.
The combination of Red, Green, and Blue values from 0 to 255, gives more than 16 million different colors (256 x 256 x 256).
If you look at the color table below, you will see the result of varying the red light from 0 to 255, while keeping the green and blue light at zero.
