The HTML 4.x specifications defines sixteen color names that can be
used instead of color values in HTML. These colors are valid values
for attributes such as BGCOLOR or LINK on the
BODY element. The CSS2 specification also uses these colors as
color values which can be used with properties such as color,
background-color or border-color.
