Different HTML Color Codes

Colors can be denoted by using their hex value or their name. HTML has support for the most

common colors; in this article, I will share with you 140 names and hex values of these colors. One

thing to keep in mind is that you don’t have to limit yourself to these colors; you can use any color

picker tool to find the Hex value of any color you want and use it on your web page.

Now that you know what HTML Color Names are and how you can use them in your pages, here is a

list of Color names with appropriate color codes:

1. Grey and Black HTML Color Names

Grey and Black colors are, in most cases, perfect for the text color of the page as against a white

background; these colors have the best readability. One interesting thing to keep in mind is that

modern phones with OLED displays done need any battery power to display Black color; if your

audience is going to be on mobile, it is a wise idea to use Black as a background color and white or

other light colors as the foreground color.
