Named Colours

the HTML 4.x specifications defines sixteen colour names that can be used instead of colour values in HTML. these colours are valid values for attributes such as the body element. the CSS2 specification also uses these colours as colour values which can be used with properties such as color, background-color or border-color. Indication is given whether the colours are Websafe (WS) or Reallysafe (RS).
