HTML Color Codes

Use this page to get HTML color codes for your website. The colors are represented by their hexadecimal values (the most common method for the web). On the color picker, you can also see the RGB values (you can use these for the web too).

Example of HTML color code usage: <td style="background-color:#ffcc99">

Option 2: Web Safe Color Palette

This color code chart contains the colors from the 216 web safe color palette. Use these colors if you prefer to use only colors from the web safe palette. The shorthand hexadecimal value is written below each color so you can copy and paste the shorthand hex value into your HTML code.

Remember, this color code chart represents the 216 web safe color palette. You can actually use any hexadecimal value you like - just remember that if you venture outside of the 216 web safe color palette, your website might look much different for your users.
