We are able to use HTML color name at the page level by including it into the body part also able to set to individual color to the specific element. Color Name in HTML is purposely used for text color, background color, border color, shadows, gradients, and many more.

Syntax

• There are various ways we can use HTML colors. Let’s see one by one.
• The very basic use of HTML color is to apply it to the text. simply use as text color to showing text in different HTML colors.

1. Text Color Syntax

color : color_name;

Let’s see how this syntax will work,

<h4 style="color:blue;">Welcome to EDUBCA<h4>

In the above example, it will show text Welcome to EDUBCA in a blue color like:

• With the help of HTML colors, it’s also possible to add them as a background color.

Types of the Color Name in HTML

There are different ways to define the color names in HTML. It’s difficult to remember a different name in different colors. So it’s to be decided to give some values to different colors. Let’s see one by one.

1. RGB Value

• It is one of the ways to define HTML color names in the combination of Red, Green and Blue color format values. Which is used to define color intensity between the number 0 to 255?
• If we want to define a black color using an RGB combination, it will like RGB(0,0,0). Here all parameters of color will set to 0. So it will display a black color.
• Like another RGB(0,0,255) will display color blue, due to 255 is set as the highest value to blue and the other is 0.
• If we are going to 3 equal values of RGB, then it will generate shades of a gray color.

Example: RGB (0,0,0) for darkest color where RGB(255,255,255) for lightest color.

2. HEX Value

• It’s one of the most commonly used formats of a color name in HTML in which color name will be defined in the format of a hexadecimal value.
• #rrggbb format includes values from RR for red, gg for green and bb for blue are placed in between 00 toff hexadecimal value.
• Let’s consider one example defining color #00ff00 . These values will be generated color green because of green containing the highest value(ff) where the other is set to 00.

3. HSL Value

• Another format to define HTML color in the form of Hue, Saturation, Lightness.
• Now we will see all the terms one by one. Hue is defined as the degree of color between 0 to 360 . 0 for red, 120 for green and 240 for blue.
• Saturation defines the value of color into the percentage, in which 0% says the shade of grey where 100% for full color.
• Lightness is also working as the percentage, which defines 0% for black, 50% is for neither light or dark where 100% is for white.

4. RGBA value

• This type of HTML color defines an extension for RGB color, including alpha value where alpha is used to define the opacity of the color.
• Alpha value comes in between 0.0 {fully transparent} to 1.0 {not transparent at all}
• Example is rgba(255,99,71,0)

5. HSLA Value

• It works the same as HSL colors value additional alpha value for defining the opacity of the color.
• hsla(8,100%,80%,0) for fully transparent color.
• hsla(8,100%,80%,0.9) for not that much transparent color.

Using HTML Color Names

Implementing colors on your webpage is easy and can be done both inline and via a separate CSS Stylesheet.

When you are going to be using the same HTML Color Names on a page multiple times, it is a better idea to use CSS Sheet to define and set colors. Conversely, if you only have to use color once or twice, using the inline method is considered better.

1. Using HTML Color Inline

<body>
<h3 style="color: Brown">Brown H3 Heading</h3>
<p style="color: Gainsboro">Gainsboro colored paragraph text</p>
</body>

2. Implementing in CSS

h1 { color: Brown; }
p { color: Gainsboro; }

Different HTML Color Codes

Colors can be denoted by using their hex value or their name. HTML has support for the most common colors; in this article, I will share with you 140 names and hex values of these colors. One thing to keep in mind is that you don’t have to limit yourself to these colors; you can use any color picker tool to find the Hex value of any color you want and use it on your web page.

Now that you know what HTML Color Names are and how you can use them in your pages, here is a list of Color names with appropriate color codes:

1. Grey and Black HTML Color Names

Grey and Black colors are, in most cases, perfect for the text color of the page as against a white background; these colors have the best readability. One interesting thing to keep in mind is that modern phones with OLED displays done need any battery power to display Black color; if your audience is going to be on mobile, it is a wise idea to use Black as a background color and white or other light colors as the foreground color.

Examples of Color Name in HTML

Let us see how color name in HTML is used with the help of some examples mentioned below:

Example #1

Let us consider a general example showing how example color name in HTML is going to be used:

HTML code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1 style="color:Violet;">About Life.....</h1>
<h4 >Creativity Is Intelligence Having Fun </h4>
<p style="background-color: #00FFFF; color:blue">

You Learn More From Failure Than From Success. Don’t Let It Stop You. Failure Builds Character. If You Are Working On Something That You Really Care About, You Don’t Have To Be Pushed. The Vision Pulls You

</p>
</body>
</html>

Output:

Example #2

Now we are taking another example which will define all types of HTML color as follows:

HTML code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1 style="color:rgb(255, 0, 0);">RGB defines Red color</h1>
<h1 style="color:rgb(60, 60, 60);">RGB same values define Gray shade</h1>
<h1 style="background-color:#ffa500;">New color using Hex Value</h1>
<h1 style="background-color:#787878;">Shade of Gray</h1>
<h1 style="background-color:hsl(50, 100%, 50%);">hsl color shade</h1>
<h1 style="background-color:rgba(255, 99, 71, 0.4);">rgba color shade</h1>
<h1 style="color:hsla(9, 100%, 80%, 0.5);">hsla color shade</h1>
</body>
</html>

Output:

In the above example, we are able to see the use of different HTML color types and how they are named in HTML.

Example #3

One more use of HTML color is to define a border to the element, which is as follows:

In Example, Here, we can add a border to your code body, changing the background and text colour.

HTML code:

<p style="border: 2px solid #A52A2A; background-color:#ffa500;color:#FFF8DC">Self-actualizing theory talks of intrinsic rewards inherent in the task performance such as job satisfaction, feeling of achievement, etc.</p>

Output:

Conclusion
