HTML Colors

HTML colors are a mix of red, green, and blue.

Computers create the colors you see on a monitor by combining three colors
of light: red, green, and blue.

Note:- The <font> color attribute is not supported by HTML5.

Syntax:

<font color="color_name|hex_number|rgb_number">

HTML Color Value

HTML colors are defined by a hexadecimal notation consisting of red, green, and blue values ​​(RGB). The minimum value for each color is 0 (hex: #00). The maximum value is 255 (hex: #FF). This table gives the specific effect of mixing three colors:

16 million different colors

The combination of the three colors red, green, and blue ranges from 0 to 255, for a total of 16 million different colors (256 x 256 x 256).

In the color table below you will see different results, from 0 to 255 for red, setting both green and blue to 0, as the value of red changes, different values ​​show different colors.

Web Safe Color?

A few years ago, when most computers only supported 256 colors, a set of 216 Web-safe colors was proposed as a Web standard. The reason for this is that the Microsoft and Mac operating systems use 40 different reserved fixed system colors (about 20 each).

We’re not sure how meaningful it is to do this these days, as more and more computers are capable of handling millions of colors, but the choice is yours.

Originally, 216 cross-platform web-safe colors were used to ensure that all computers displayed all colors correctly when using a 256-color palette.
