Color Names

This appendix provides the table of color names that are supported by most browsers. These are the color names referenced in Customize portlet colors.

It is important to note that only 16 color names are supported in the W3C HTML 4.0 standard (aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple, red, silver, teal, white, and yellow). If you have concerns about browser compatibility, or are planning to export the portlet, you should use the hexadecimal values rather than the color names.

To view the colors themselves, go to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) web site and locate the section documenting SVG color keywords.
