Text Colors on White and Black Backgrounds

Because colors look different on different color backgrounds here are two examples of a text color table for you to choose. Color codes can be in the format:

 

"#FFFFFF"
This is white in hexadecimal code.

or

 

"white"
This is the same color using the name.

For ease of use the following two tables use the name rather than the code. For an excellent in depth discussion and reference on the subject of color on the web visit:

An example of how to use this information is the FONT tag:
