CSS Color Codes

· 3 min read

There are many ways to write colors for web pages. While there are millions of colors in RGB, there are dozens of color names you can use. The basic color keywords and extended color keywords are both included in the CSS3 Color Module. Use these color keywords where ever you use color in your CSS. These CSS color codes will help you with your web designs.

Basic CSS Color Codes

The basic color keywords are CSS color codes that are supported in every browser. They are case insensitive and you can use them where ever you define colors in your CSS.
