The Color Tables Hex, Decimal and Percentage Equivalents Cascading Style Sheet Color Names References Introduction Browsers and monitors do not display colors consistently. Thus that lovely shade of cream on your monitor might be pink on someone else's. Even then the results may not look quite the same on another monitor because of contrast, brightness, and other factors.
Some browsers support color names as well as codes.
However, I advise against using names, based on firsthand experience. A user e-mailed me that some of my pages had a dark blue background that made it difficult to read the text. Most browsers had no problems, but her particular configuration did. When I changed the page, her problem cleared up. Tables 1 to 6 give the hex code and the resulting color.
