CSS named colors

CSS understands 148 color keywords. You can write color: rebeccapurple and every browser knows what you mean. All of them are below, grouped by family: click a swatch to copy its hex, or follow a name for the full breakdown.

A note on the odd ones: gray and grey both work, as do all their dark/light variants. rebeccapurple entered the spec in 2014 in memory of Rebecca Meyer. transparent and currentcolor are keywords too, but they are instructions rather than colors, so they are not listed here.
