Does anyone have a list of all the text colors that can be used with Netscape2.0?

Yep, here is the definitive listing of all 16777215 possible background colours including their descriptions.

Hope this helps.


To find the colour you want simply find the description that matches the colour you want and read off the 'RGB' value next to it. You'll find the alphabetical listing after the numerical listing.

#000000  Black. Jet Black. Absolutely, totally 100% Black. 'without void ...'etc.
#000001  Really, really, really, incredibly black.
#000002  Dark dark dark dark Black.
#000003  Dark dark dark Black
#000004  Dark dark Black.
#000005  Dark Black.
#000006  You guessed it. Black.
#000007  Still very Black.
#000008  Yep; no change.
#000009  Yes ... Black.
#00000A  'Trapped 1 mile deep in a coal mine without a light' Black.
#00000B  'Total power failure in a submarine' Black.

#00000E  'Dark side of the moon' Black.
#00000F  'Buried alive' Black.
#000010  'Fallen in a vat of Ford "Model T" paint' Black.
#000011  '100 light years out in space with Stevie Wonder's glasses on' Black.
#000012  '13 miles down the Channel Tunnel and the lights go out' Black.
#000013  Looks like there might be a hint of blue, but it's just your imagination.
#000014  But, it is _definitely_ still very black!
#000015  "You are a maze of twisty passages. Your candle has gone out. N,S, or W?"
#000016  'Ridley Scott movie with the brightness turned right down' Black.
#000017  'Kodak's dark room when the little red light blows' Black.
#000018  'What a mole would see during a total solar Eclipse' Black.
#000019  You know the final scene in 'Silence of the Lambs'?
#00001A  I'm telling you; bats would love it.
#00001B  Pot-holeing hasn't got a patch on this.
#00001C  'It's night and you're 6000 metres below the ocean surface' Black.
#00001D  Blacker than a witch's cat.
#00001E  'SAS camouflage gear' Black.
#00001F  'Reservoir Dogs suit' Black.
#000020  Can you see the blue yet?
#000021  Now, don't lie!
#000022  You wouldn't quite call it 'ebony' yet.
#000023  Nor 'inky'.
#000024  'Pitch black' would probably cover it.
#000025  'Jet black' sounds about right, too.
#000026  But 'Dark' doesn't really do it justice.
#000027  'Swarthy' is right out, as well.
#000028  (nice word though!)
#000029  How about 'Funeral' Black?
#000030  ... or 'Sable'
#000031  (Guess who's got a Thesaurus out?)
#000032  Anyway, only 16777170 more to go...
