There are 140 discrete color names listed in the
COLD FUSION
HTML Reference List that
are supported by the Netscape Navigator.
However, while the names might be discrete, the colours are not
always detectably different.
I have modified this list by: eliminating the duplication, simplifying the coding,
and rearranging the order, all to make your colour selection easier.
I really hope nobody minds.

(1) In Netscape, 'Beige', 'Cornsilk', 'BlanchedAlmond',
'LightGolden RodYellow', 'AntiqueWhite', 'LemonChiffon' and 'PapayaWhip'.
all appear to be identical to 'LIGHT YELLOW'.
(2) In Netscape, 'AliceBlue', 'Azure', 'FloralWhite', 'GhostWhite', 'Honeydew',
'Snow', 'Ivory', 'Linen', 'Lavender Blush', 'MintCream', 'SeaShell', 'OldLace'
and 'WhiteSmoke' all appear to be identical TO 'WHITE'.
(3) In Netscape, 'LightPink', 'Bisque', 'MistyRose', 'Moccasin', 'Peachpuff'
and 'Wheat', all appear to be identical TO 'PINK'.
(4) The name 'Blue-black' is not in the HTML Reference List.
SIMPLIFIED CODING: Since each colour extends over a wide range of address codes,
it is easier to adopt simpler codes where there are never more than three different
digits. The matching of the simple coding to the original codes in the HTML Reference
was done on Netscape(3.02 and 4.5). When I checked with the Microsoft Explorer (3.02), I
found that, especially amongst the lighter colours, the matches were not always right.
Someday, I'm going to have to do something about that!
