Here you will find a list of colours which you can use to enhance your web page design. The RGB values are given in brackets. They can be used for your background and your text colour. It is not usually a good idea to have too many different colours on your web page as it makes it more difficult to read.
Here are the names of colors that you can use instead of the RGB codes.
Please note that all 0's are in fact zeros and not the letter O.
