HTML Color Guide
HTML is the language behind the Internet. While many of today’s best websites use much more advanced languages to generate HTML, all HTML is still parsed by the browser, and without specialized plug-ins non-HTML is not generally handled by the browser.
One of the features which information marked-up in HTML can possess is color, though many browsers will set defaults for these such as black for text and white for the background. Because HTML is platform and browser independent it has a system to encode colors to make them consistent. This system uses codes to represent different color hues.
