Change Text and background colors
You can use color names in any color specification in your web pages instead of the arcane hexadecimal color codes. Using color names is easy: instead of saying #ff0000, just say red. For example, to make your document background blue, use this <body> tag:
<body bgcolor="green">for
background
<font color="blue">for text</font>
Netscape supports these colors. A quick check of
the color sample next to each name should let you know if you browser can
handle them as well.Netscape also supports the hundreds of colors defined
in the #XXXXXX
Window color database. Not all of these colors
are displayed correctly because the Netscape color map does not have entries
corresponding to each of the colors. As a result, many of the colors are
mapped to the nearest color in the map, resulting in some weird colors.
In any case, here are the supported Netscape colors with samples.
