How to use these Colors

• To set a background color, use background-color .
• To set the text color, use color
• To set a border color, use border-color .

Below are quick CSS code examples for applying this color to various HTML elements.

Check out some basic color code examples using color names in the online editor.

Color names are case-insensitive (it doesn’t matter whether you use UPPERCASE or lowercase).

So blue , Blue , and BLUE all display the same color.

In Hexadecimal Notation

Here is the same color, but this time using hexadecimal notation instead of the color name.

So the color code is now 0000ff .

This needs to be prefixed with a hash symbol, so it will become #0000ff when written in the code.

Check out some basic color code examples using hexadecimal values in the online editor.

Hex colors are case-insensitive (it doesn’t matter whether you use UPPERCASE or lowercase).

So 0000ff and 0000FF both display the same color.

In RGB Functional Notation

Here is the same color, but this time using RGB functional notation.

So the color code is now 0,0,255 . This needs to be placed inside the rgb() function, so it will look like this rgb(0,0,255) .

Check out some basic color code examples using RGB functional notation in the online editor.

Full-Page Example

Here is an example of where CSS color codes can fit into an HTML document.

This example uses embedded style sheets. You can also move the styles to an external style sheet so that you can apply the styles across the whole site from one file.

Transparent Colors

CSS also enables us to add transparent colors to our HTML elements. This means that you can add a color that’s semi-transparent — so that you can see the element behind it.

Here’s an example of adding transparency to a color using the rgba() function.

List of Color Properties

Here’s a list of color-related properties you can use with CSS.

Web Safe Colors

This chart displays the 216 «web safe» colors. Click on a color to display it in a new page.

With current day monitors being able to display millions of colors, there’s little need to use the web safe colors any more. But it’s a great way to pick some basic colors nice and quickly. And hey, it’s still a nice looking chart!

CSS Legal Color Values

Colors in CSS can be specified by the following methods:

• Hexadecimal colors
• Hexadecimal colors with transparency
• RGB colors
• RGBA colors
• HSL colors
• HSLA colors
• Predefined/Cross-browser color names
• With the currentcolor keyword

Hexadecimal Colors

A hexadecimal color is specified with: #RRGGBB, where the RR (red), GG (green) and BB (blue) hexadecimal integers specify the components of the color. All values must be between 00 and FF.

For example, the #0000ff value is rendered as blue, because the blue component is set to its highest value (ff) and the others are set to 00.

Example

Define different HEX colors:

Hexadecimal Colors With Transparency

A hexadecimal color is specified with: #RRGGBB. To add transparency, add two additional digits between 00 and FF.

Example

Define different HEX colors with transparency:

RGB Colors

An RGB color value is specified with the rgb() function, which has the following syntax:

Each parameter (red, green, and blue) defines the intensity of the color and can be an integer between 0 and 255 or a percentage value (from 0% to 100%).

For example, the rgb(0,0,255) value is rendered as blue, because the blue parameter is set to its highest value (255) and the others are set to 0.

Also, the following values define equal color: rgb(0,0,255) and rgb(0%,0%,100%).

Example

Define different RGB colors:

RGBA Colors

RGBA color values are an extension of RGB color values with an alpha channel — which specifies the opacity of the object.

An RGBA color is specified with the rgba() function, which has the following syntax:

The alpha parameter is a number between 0.0 (fully transparent) and 1.0 (fully opaque).

Example

Define different RGB colors with opacity:

HSL Colors

HSL stands for hue, saturation, and lightness — and represents a cylindrical-coordinate representation of colors.

An HSL color value is specified with the hsl() function, which has the following syntax:

hsl(hue, saturation, lightness)

Hue is a degree on the color wheel (from 0 to 360) — 0 (or 360) is red, 120 is green, 240 is blue. Saturation is a percentage value; 0% means a shade of gray and 100% is the full color. Lightness is also a percentage; 0% is black, 100% is white.

Example

Define different HSL colors:

HSLA Colors

HSLA color values are an extension of HSL color values with an alpha channel — which specifies the opacity of the object.

An HSLA color value is specified with the hsla() function, which has the following syntax:

hsla(hue, saturation, lightness, alpha)

The alpha parameter is a number between 0.0 (fully transparent) and 1.0 (fully opaque).

Example

Define different HSL colors with opacity:

Predefined/Cross-browser Color Names

140 color names are predefined in the HTML and CSS color specification.

For example: blue , red , coral , brown , etc:

Example

Define different color names:

A list of all predefined names can be found in our Color Names Reference.

The currentcolor Keyword

The currentcolor keyword refers to the value of the color property of an element.

Example

The border color of the following element will be blue, because the text color of the element is blue:
