Early HTML coding included names for the 16 colors of the VGA pallette. These names can be entered in most HTML coding interchangable with the RGB, (Red, Green, Blue) hexidecimal values, ie-
bgcolor="#C0C0C0"
is the same as
bgcolor="silver"
HTML color codes are 'case insensitive' which means upper case or lower case, (
CAPITAL or
small alphabetic charcters), are treated the same --- they are all
equal, ie-
bgcolor="#c0c0c0"
bgcolor="#C0c0c0"
bgcolor="SILVER"
bgcolor="Silver"
