The Original Windows 3.2 COLORS

These named colors can still be used today. The following table displays the original 16 colors that were available to Web authors using HTML tags on Windows 3.2 platforms. A Web author's choice with the 16 color limitation was to code with just the name, or by using the octothorp (#) with the hexidecimal color code, such as "#C0C0C0".
Example: COLOR="silver" OR COLOR="#COCOCO"

Selected Named Colors
