A collection of color names are supported by newer versions of both Netscape and Internet Explorer.
Note: Color names are not supported by the W3C standards. If you want
to write correct CSS you should use the Color HEX values.
Colors are displayed combining RED, GREEN, and BLUE light sources.

A few years ago, when most computers supported only 256 different colors, a list of 216 Web Safe Colors was suggested as a Web standard. The reason for this was that Microsoft and Mac operating system used 40 different "reserved" fixed system colors (about 20 each).
We are not sure how important this is now, since more and more computers are equipped with ability to display millions of different colors, but the choice is left to you.
This 216 cross platform web safe color palette was originally created to ensure that all computers would display all colors correctly when running a 256 color palette.
