  Safe - Legal Color Names for Browser Colors i.e. Colors for HTML tags
These are browser colors that are safe when using the 'color name' (.
However, the main purpose is to show the ~150 safe colors reconized by browsers.
Browser Colors by Name may not always validate in the validation checkers; however, for initial setup and testing it is often easier to use the color names (then later change to the binary values for browser colors)

  Color name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Generally, naming of colors involves a vocabulary and a grammatical syntax.
As the color space is continuous, naming of colors involves quantization, often by a vocabulary that specifies gradual change of one color into another.

 How do things look to colorblind people?
Color blindness is typically a genetic condition, and it is much more common in men than in women.
A mild color deficiency is present when one or more of the three cones light sensitive pigments are not quite right and their peak sensitivity is shifted (anomalous trichromasy - includes protanomaly and deuteranomaly).
They may make occasional errors in color names, or may encounter difficulties in discriminating small differences in colors, but usually they do not perform very differently from the normal except on color vision tests.

 CS 252 - Color Guidelines
Explanation: Colors appear differently in different lighting environment, due to increase or decrease in contrast, or to shifts in the eyes' sensitivity to color.
Example: Use colors that are distinct enough to be visible in a variety of lighting conditions, and test the interface under a range of conditions.
Explanation: The difference between actual colors and their perceived color means that a color may not be seen accurately, or the user may see a color that isn't there.

Named Colors: The W3C organization, which creates standards for the World Wide Web, has specified a list of 138 different colors (some with duplicate names, such as "Gray" and "Grey" or "Aqua" and "Cyan") that can be used on web pages by name.
For example: the named color Firebrick is specified as RGB 178, 34, 34 (B22222 in hex).

 Color-Name Dictionaries   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Color dictionaries should provide a means for specifying colors independent of the gamut limitations of displays and printers, but all the online materials I found in 2001 used RGB coordinates or proprietary unconvertable denotations.
Their names end in "1", "2", "3", and "4", with "color1" being at the surface of the color cube and the others at increasing distances approaching fl.
A compendium of colors and their names from academic, government, textile, dye, paint, horticultural, and manufacturing sources would appear to be the ideal source for surface color names.

Color has a way of creeping into our cheeks — "red as a beet" — or our personalities — "green with envy." A "color commentator" relates important statistics and interesting anecdotes about a sporting event.
Colors that grab our attention the fastest are those at the warm end of the spectrum, so it's no surprise that the most important element of a design is red or another vibrant, warm color.
Color experts have determined that "classifier colors," such as burgundy, narrow the market for a certain product, while "declassifier colors," such as orange, tend to broaden the appeal of a product.

 Mixing Memory : The Effects of Color Names on Color Concepts, or Like Lazarus Raised from the Tomb
You then determine the color names that were used to describe the bulk of the spectrum.
Neither made errors consistent with English color names (the correlations between naming and memory for Himba participants were r =.559 for memory and Himba names and r =.036 memory and English names; the correlations were similar for Berinmo vs. English for Berinmo speakers).
An explanation consonant with universal color perception and color memory is that all individuals perceived the same color, attached a linguistic label to it for convenient storage and retrieval, retrieved the linguistic label when asked to pick the chip, and then chose a chip in the acceptable range of that linguistic label.

 Color Names: More Universal Than You Might Think
Some languages classify colors into fewer categories, but even these categories are composites of those eight listed above, said Delwin Lindsey, the study's lead author and an associate professor of psychology at Ohio State University.
Lindsey and Brown used data from the World Color Survey, a collection of color names supplied by 2,616 people of 110 mostly unwritten languages spoken by mostly preindustrial societies.
The researchers used the survey because it included many people from preindustrial societies whose color names are thought to be relatively uncontaminated by contact with highly industrialized cultures whose color names closely resemble those found in English.

In computing, on the X Window System, X11 color names are represented in a simple text file, which maps certain strings to RGB color values.
The first versions of Mosaic and Netscape Navigator used the X11 colors as the basis for the Web colors list, as both were originally X11 applications.
Almost the exact same color names are used in.NET Framework, in the KnownColor and Color enumerations.

 Color Table   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Colors can be specified in HTML pages in two ways—by using numbers to denote an RGB color value, or by using a color name.
An RGB color value normally consists of a '#' immediately followed by a triad of two-digit hexadecimal numbers specifying the intensity of the corresponding color: (R)ed, (G)reen, and (B)lue.
For example, the color value #FF0000 is rendered red because the red number is set to its highest value, FF (or 255, in decimal).

 Color Matters - Hot Topics from the Bulletin Board Archives - Color Symbolism and Terminology
The point is, a person can learn the meaning of a discrete color, but s/he should keep in mind that as more colors are added, the composite meaning may be very different than any of the individual meanings.
Almost by default, you could point to colors that are (wer e or have been) restricted for use by those of a certain rank or profession that have traditionally held by men only; women, then, couldn't wear or use that color in that way.
In Patricia Sloane's HIDEOUS and frequently very inaccurate book called The Visual Nature of Color she does present a long list of color names derived from objects as well as to reprint the Inter-society's names for a standard blue (all 125 names for it.) Further she reprints the ISCC list of 267 major color classes.
