Color names allowed in HTML/CSS

colors, css, html, html-lists

Solution

There are a plethora of colors listed at http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/html_colornames.asp. There's also a cautionary note at the bottom:

Note: The names above are not a part of the W3C web standard.

The W3C HTML and CSS standards have listed only 16 valid color names: aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple, red, silver, teal, white, and yellow.

If you want valid HTML or CSS use the HEX values instead.

Problem

I know and use a few color names like 'white', 'blue', 'red', is there a complete list of colors allowed in HTML/CSS ?
