X11 Color Names




It is not known who originally compiled the list. The list shows neither a continuity in selected Color Value s nor in Color Name s, and many color triplets have multiple names. Despite this, graphic designers and others got used to them making it practically impossible to introduce a more stringent and logical alias list.

The first versions of Mosaic and Netscape Navigator used the X11 colors as the basis for the Web Colors list, as both were originally X11 applications.


CHARTS


These charts are not a standard set of colors to be found on any X11 system. Rather it is the standardised "X11 colors" accepted by browsers following the HTML and CSS standards. This set is cut down and rationalised, and has a few differences from, a typical rgb.txt file (especially, Green is different {Link without Title} ). RGB values shown are normalised to the range 0 to 255.
