Also, some of the colors are defined by the web navigator. A particular navigator can not recognize all the colors, but from 2005 all the modern web navigators of general use are compatible with the whole list.

Color is a great tool for helping to make your community stand out as well as better match your wiki's topic and theme.

Step by step
Color can be added to your community in a couple of different places. For example, you can use unique colors in the theme designer to customize your look, or add color to your community's templates via CSS.

The most common way to define a color is to use its name or hex code. To use a particular color, take the name or hex code below and add it where appropriate. If for example you want to add it as a button color in the Theme Designer, copy the hex code of that color, then add it to the input field on the customize tab.

Hex values are generally more flexible than color names as they allow a very wide range of shades - more information about how these work can be found on Wikipedia.

Color names
There are two main types of color names that are preferred, HTML and X11.

HTML color names
The HTML 4.01 specification defines sixteen named colors, as follows (names are defined in this context to be case-insensitive; the table is alphabetically ordered):

These 16 were also specified as sRGB and included in the HTML 3.0 specification.

Fluorescent Colors
The neon colors are a typical type of colors that glow on certain pages depending on what color the theme is used through Theme Designer.

Names of the X11 colors
Also, some of the colors are defined by the web navigator. A particular navigator can not recognize all the colors, but from 2005 all the modern web navigators of general use are compatible with the whole list. Then you have the whole list of "X11 colors" from the specification of CSS3, together with the equivalents of them hexadecimal and decimals, comparing the alphabetic lists of the W3C standards.
