Barney's HTML Colour Chart

There's no need to learn hexadecimal codes to use colour on web pages. If you're satisfied with a more limited range of colours, try the 16 shown here, which can be specified by name. You'll need to create a tag that includes bgcolor="------" for the background or font color="------" for the text, and then insert the name of your chosen colour in place of the dashes (Note US spelling of "color" and "gray").

If you really do need a wider range of subtle shades, choose from the selection below. It doesn't matter whether or not you understand hexadecimal values. Most people probably don't. Just choose the one you like and create a tag that includes bgcolor="#------" or font color="#------" as above and insert the six digits (numbers and letters) shown for your chosen shade in place of the dashes. That's all you need to know. It's possible to specify a total of 16,777,216 shades using hexadecimal codes, but the 729 below should be more than adequate for most people.
