Hexadecimal and

HTML Named Color Charts


NOTE: If you have problems when printing from Internet Explorer (no colors being printed), go to the 'Tools - Internet Options - Advanced' tab and under 'Printing' check the 'Print background colors and images' box. The charts will then print correctly.

The chart below gives the hexadecimal numbers for the RGB codes that define the displayed colors.

When selecting colors, try to pick ones that Netscape and Internet Explorer do not dither. Dithering is basically a process of making one color by mixing pixels of other colors, as opposed to setting the pixel to the color you want. This is not always a good effect.

There is a minor problem for us when selecting colors. If your reader has their video set for 256 colors, then Netscape will only display the 216 colors you see on this tall chart up and to the left. Here is the basic concept of what are called the SAFE COLORS.

We previously mentioned that there are 256 X 256 X 256 colors (around 16 million), but if a video card is set to 256 colors, something has to give. What gave is most of the colors! Here is how it exactly how to figure out if your color is safe.

In HEX (see below), each red, green, or blue component must start with:

00 or 33 or 66 or 99 or CC or FF

So, instead of 256 levels of red, green and blue, you have only 6. This results in 6 X 6 X 6 or 216 colors!
