The"B" is black and the"W" is white so you can see how letters look on top of these colors.

These colors are not a part of the official HTML 4.0 standard.
This table is built using ...bgColor=colorName... so if the browser you are using shows all the different colors, well, then I guess it supports them. Beware however if your audience is using another browser, it may not display on that browser. If you can, display this page using the same browser(s) as your audience ( but of course you always do that anyway ).
Note that the arrangement is based on MY preference, with colors I feel are visualy simular being located nearby. The intent was that if I was using one color that wasn't quite right by using this chart I might be able to find the name I was looking for. ( I hate using numbers)
