Colours

Below you will find a table with 138 examples of colours, the names they have and the equivalent hexadecimal codes.

In the left column you will find the name of the colour, in the middle column a sample of how the colour looks as background and the right column the hexadecimal number. The colours are sorted in alphabetical order of name. The names and colour numbers are repeated in black because some colours are difficult to read on a white background.

By the way, white is here as well, right between wheat and yellow. You just cannot see it because of the white background.
