message: Probably due to Dark Mode, the rendered colours are inverted; white has become black, black became white, and yellow became a dirty dark brown. סשס Grimmchild. He/him, probably 12:49, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inverted colours 

message: In the industry, you will never see colors capitalized in this way. DarkGreen would be written as darkgreen in the code. Both still work, but so would DaRKgrEEN and we wouldn't use that. To reflect best practice, would it not be more prudent to write all colors in lowercase to better demonstrate the standard? Yibletaa (talk) 13:53, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: It doesn't matter. In the CSS Color Module Level 3 W3C Recommendation 18 January 2022, section 4.1. Basic color keywords, it says The color names are ASCII case-insensitive., and by extension, this also applies to the names defined in section 4.3. Extended color keywords. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 09:59, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I acknowledged that in my comment. My point isn't that it's technically incorrect but that it doesn't reflect best practice/industry standard. Yibletaa (talk) 22:47, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

text: Also, note how in W3C's list of extended color keywords that you linked, they also list all the colors strictly in lowercase - most likely for the same reason I'm suggesting it. Yibletaa (talk) 22:49, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, they list them all in lowercase, but you should not infer anything from that. Perhaps the people who typed up that page couldn't be bothered to use the shift key any more than grammatically necessary. Perhaps they had an aversion to capitals outside of English sentences. Perhaps they pushed the whole block through the UNIX command tr 'A-Z' 'a-z'. We just don't know. In any case, it is not Wikipedia's place to decide what is "right" or "wrong", we report on what others have already described, and we show our source. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:19, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Then even if we ignore best practice, this page is still not reflecting the standard that is presented in either of the two sources, 4.3. Extended color keywords or 4.4 Recognized color keyword names, attributed to the list. Yibletaa (talk) 16:02, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
