Unix Color Names

Here are 124 color names you may encounter in other people’s code. They are often called “Netscape colors” or “Microsoft colors,” but in fact they originated with the Unix operating system. Old versions of Netscape 4.x, as well as Internet Explorer for Windows, understand these names, but Mozilla and Gecko browsers ignore them, as do others. So use the hex codes instead of the names.
