Here are some colors that you should be able to reference directly by Color Name, rather than having to put in an obscure Hexacode.

Understanding WebSafe Colors: The Color Palette Used on WikiDoc:

A number of colors are defined by web browsers such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. A particular browser may not recognize all of these colors, but as of 2005 all modern general-use browsers support the full list. Many of these colors are from the list of X11 color names distributed with the X Window System. ... The complete list of web X11 colors from the CSS3 specification, along with their hexadecimal equivalents, are listed below. For an alphabetical list and the original reference, see http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-css3-color-20010305#x11-color. However, according to w3schools.com, there are only 16 color names supported by the W3C - aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple, red, silver, teal, white, and yellow - and you should use the hexadecimal color values for anything else.

Why this Table has been copied from Wikipedia: All of these color words should be safe to use on the wikidoc. If one of these colors does not appear (the colorbox looks white instead of colored), please STRIKETHROUGH the color name and write "broken" in the colorbox, as shown in the first example in the Table. Thanks!
