HTML color names are the simplest way to define the color for the HTML elements, as they are predefined names for the colors, such as red, green, blue, etc. HTML allows the use of predefined color names to specify colors in web development.
While early versions of HTML recognized a limited set of 16 basic color names, modern browsers and CSS3 support a much larger list of 147 color names.
The 16 basic HTML color names are: aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple, red, silver, teal, white, and yellow.
In HTML5, an additional basic color name, “orange,” was added, bringing the total to 17 basic colors.
