Browser Colors

The colors below are the members of the color palette supported by Netscape 2.0 and up and all Microsoft Internet Explorer versions. You can't go wrong if you use these, although you still should check out how they look on Mac and PC before committing to any particular background color schemes to see how they dither.

You may specify these colors by name or by hexadecimal values in HTML for use as background colors for web pages, table cells, or for border colors (Internet Explorer only). RGB values are included for those who may wish to build graphics in Photoshop using only browser-palette colors. An Excel spreadsheet is also available for those who may want to add colors or fiddle with them (like calculating CMYK values or HSV equivalents.) Let me know if this table is useful.
