Are `Gray` and `Grey` both valid?

Yes. All CSS color keywords accept both spellings — `Gray`, `LightGray`, `DarkGray`, `DimGray`, `SlateGray` all also work with `Grey`. The table lists the `Gray` form for brevity.

What's `RebeccaPurple`?

Added in CSS Color Module Level 4 in 2014, in memory of Eric Meyer's daughter Rebecca. It's the only named color introduced after the original X11 set.

Which named colors are identical?

`Aqua` and `Cyan` are both `#00FFFF`; `Magenta` and `Fuchsia` are both `#FF00FF`. They date back to the merge of HTML 4's 16 named colors with the X11 set.

Should a design system be built on named colours?

They are fine as literals in a quick page or a demo, but they are an arbitrary palette inherited from X11 with no consistent scale behind the names — DarkGray (#A9A9A9) is lighter than Gray (#808080), for example. Anything that needs even steps, theming or a dark variant should define its own tokens instead of borrowing keywords.

Do these names work outside CSS?

Mostly. The same X11 list turns up in SVG, in many plotting and drawing libraries, and in some editors, but not everywhere and not always with identical values — some environments define only a subset. When the exact colour matters across tools, convert the keyword to hex and pass that.

CSS Named Colors

How to use

Use the hue chips to narrow down — e.g. just the blues when picking accent colors.
Click any color's copy button to put its HEX on the clipboard.

Frequently asked questions

Are `Gray` and `Grey` both valid?: Yes. All CSS color keywords accept both spellings — `Gray`, `LightGray`, `DarkGray`, `DimGray`, `SlateGray` all also work with `Grey`. The table lists the `Gray` form for brevity.
What's `RebeccaPurple`?: Added in CSS Color Module Level 4 in 2014, in memory of Eric Meyer's daughter Rebecca. It's the only named color introduced after the original X11 set.
Which named colors are identical?: `Aqua` and `Cyan` are both `#00FFFF`; `Magenta` and `Fuchsia` are both `#FF00FF`. They date back to the merge of HTML 4's 16 named colors with the X11 set.
Should a design system be built on named colours?: They are fine as literals in a quick page or a demo, but they are an arbitrary palette inherited from X11 with no consistent scale behind the names — DarkGray (#A9A9A9) is lighter than Gray (#808080), for example. Anything that needs even steps, theming or a dark variant should define its own tokens instead of borrowing keywords.
Do these names work outside CSS?: Mostly. The same X11 list turns up in SVG, in many plotting and drawing libraries, and in some editors, but not everywhere and not always with identical values — some environments define only a subset. When the exact colour matters across tools, convert the keyword to hex and pass that.
