Keeping "color" thread accessible..... ;)

Raineypark always has 'vunderbar' ideas!!

(I had forgotten about khaki...and Rainey, I still frequently use indianred, mostly because I never can remember other specific color names!!)

All you ever need to do is go back to the first page of this thread....all the color names are listed there!!!

from MBs orig. top of the thread:
Quote
palegoldenrod #EEE8AA
darkslateblue #483D8B paleturquoise #AFEEEE
darkslategray #2F4F4F palevioletred #DB7093
darkturquoise #00CED1

These are just some that are just showing up as 'white'...there were more on the thread.

Is it my browser? Or are they appearing 'plain' to others?

Thanks,

Patti

Yes, some color names show up as the default color in all browsers though their respective RGB codes will work (see below).

#EEE8AA (palegoldenrod)
#483D8B (darkslateblue) #AFEEEE (paleturquoise)
#2F4F4F (darkslategray)  #DB7093 (palevioletred)
#00CED1 (darkturquoise)

For some odd reason, it seems like browser developers are having their browsers recognize fewer color names rather than more.  ::)  When I first posted this topic back in August 2002, all the colors displayed correctly - but now 21 of the color names are no longer recognized.  >:(

Thaaat's right, last night in my HTML course, the teacher mentioned colors/numerals.

He didn't mention RGB, but I remembered from  :-* MB's text on the matter.

MB, on most newerish web sites (that a person would be building), are the colors already there
(eg crimson, or will I need the RGB value....and a few valium??)  ^-^

Also, I would have to say about 1/3 of the color names are not appearing for me on this main topic....anyone else? (it'll say [color*=mediumpurple]* purple [/*color].... note, astericks are mine
