Here is a list of colors that can be viewed with Netscape or IE. I have found this list to be very useful. I refer to it
when I have multi-color backgrounds to choose the best color for my text. I hope this list comes in handy for anyone
who would like to use it.

Colors surrounded by the pair of *characters are also supported by IE for all elements that support coloring. It should also be noted that, these color names are not supported by other browsers
and their display would be unreilable, unless the #rrggbb value is used instead.
