Web Colors

This page contains a list of color names that you can use in the previous embed examples.

Colors on web pages can be defined by the value of composite red, green and blue light, and by their transparency. As an example, the block of color below has the values rgba(0,0,0,0.5). This means it comprises no red, green of blue light (and is therefore black) and is 50% transparent. It therefore works to provide a darker version to the color below it which can be used for creating shadow effects.

For most cases, it is easier to use the following color names. Note that color names are always one word only and are not case sensitive.
