Displaying the color name and showing the color
The System.Drawing.Color structure contains a lot of color names, but it’s not immediately apparent what the colors actually look like.
Color Reference
This shows all the available color names in the System.Drawing.Color structure, along with an example of what that color looks like in your browser. (Don’t forget you can still create a color from its RGB value.)
As ever there are complications. What it looks like in your browser is not necessarily the same as it will look in an application, or in a different browser, or on a different operating system, or on a different monitor. Best to regard this as a ‘handy guide’ rather than a definitive comparison chart.
