140 HTML colors with HEX, RGB codes and names
With so many colors to choose from, it can be tough to decide which one to use for your website or blog. But with a little help from this list of 140 HTML colors, you can find the perfect color for your next project.
Using an RGB or HEX color code in HTML you can change the color of the text, background, url, font, table or the whole page.
Colors in HTML
The value for the color property can be set in three main ways:
- by color name, for example, red , green , blue
- by hexadecimal number: from #000000 to #ffffff
- by color code in the RGB palette: from rgb (0, 0, 0) to rgb(255, 255, 255)
The name of the color is relatively simple. The only limitation is that we have to choose a color from several predefined options.
The standard set of HTML colors consists of 140 different values. If you need a color that is not represented there, you will need to use a hexadecimal format (HEX code) or RGB.
HEX color codes in HTML
The HEX code always starts with a # followed by a 3-byte hexadecimal number (6 digits in total). Each byte is responsible for the intensity of one of the three primary colors: the first is responsible for the intensity of red, the second for green, and the third for blue:
The value 00 is the lowest intensity, FF is the highest. For example, to get white, you need to “mix” three primary colors with maximum intensity: #FFFFFF . To obtain black, the intensity of all colors should be minimal: #000000 .
— So it’s the same as in the drawing class — to get any color you just need to mix red, blue, and green.
— Exactly. To get the red color, you need to set the maximum value for the byte responsible for the red color, and for the rest — the minimum: ##FF0000 .
— Then for green, the HEX code will be: #00FF00
RGB palette of HTML colors
In the RGB palette, the color is mixed in a similar way by mixing the intensity of red, green, and blue colors. Hence the abbreviation RGB. Only the intensity is set here by numbers 0 from 255, where 0 is the lowest intensity, 255 is the highest. For example, green would look like this: rgb (0, 255, 0) ;
All of these values are suitable for other situations where color is needed, for example, in background-color .
