216 Browser-Safe Color Codes (Mouse-over JavaScript Version)

Dealing with Web colors used to be a headache. As a Web site creator and graphic designer, I had to bear in mind what my artwork colors would look like on a PC & Mac and through Internet Explorer & Netscape.

Enter this wonderful browser-safe Web color chart with JavaScript that, upon being moused over, will show you all the 216 browser- or Web-safe colors that are guaranteed to always display the same for all browsers and platforms--rain or shine. For those who prefer other flavors of Web colors, the elaborate HTML color codes and the  216 browser-safe color names version are also available.

Here is how -- Suppose you want to color your text red, add the # in front of a Hex code you desire.

<FONT COLOR="#FF0000">text</FONT>

If you want to use the color name to make you font appear, say, deep pink, simply specify the name--with no space at all.

<FONT COLOR="deeppink">text</FONT>

For CSS enthusiasts, use the SPAN HTML tag:

<SPAN STYLE="color: deeppink">text</SPAN>
or
<SPAN STYLE="color: #FF1493">text</SPAN>

Want a combo? You got it! You can include practically anything into the all-round SPAN tag (luv it!):

<SPAN CLASS="your.css.class" STYLE="font-weight: bold; font-size: 13px; color: deeppink">text</SPAN>
or
<SPAN CLASS="your.css.class" STYLE="font-weight: bold; font-size: 13px; color: #FF1493">text</SPAN>

Use the two color systems with your Web page or table backgrounds, graphic creation, inside a JavaScript, when tweaking your navigation menu, etc., and you can rest assured that your work will be  done with error-proof confidence!
