The chart at left shows the 216 colors of the (usual) Netscape color palette (See Victor Engel's page for more about what constitutes a "usual" color palette.) These colors are distinguished by the fact that their hexadecimal codes consist of only the pairs 00, 33, 66, CC, and FF. From a color viewpoint, this means that

• from top to bottom in a given column in a block of 36 colors, the amount of blue increases in 20% increments,
• from left to right in a given row, the amount of green increases in 20% increments,
• from top to bottom in the whole chart, the amount of red in each block increases in 20% increments.

The codes to the left of each block of 36 colors show hexadecimal values for the red and green components of the color. The symbol "xx" for the green component means that you are to choose that number from the column in which your desired color lies. The blue component is chosen from the codes along the left edge of each row.

For example, the code for the color in block CC xx, column FF, and row 33 is CCFF33 (a light lime green).

NOTE: When you enter the code into an HTML document, do not put spaces between the pairs of symbols. The spaces shown on this chart are for clarity only.
