In computing, on the X Window System, X11 color names are represented in a simple text file, which maps certain strings to RGB color values. It is shipped with every X11 installation, hence the name, and is usually located in <X11root>/lib/X11/rgb.txt
. The web colors list is descended from it.
Color names are not standardized by Xlib or the X11 protocol. The list does not show continuity either in selected color values or in color names, and some color triplets have multiple names. Despite this, graphic designers and others got used to them, making it practically impossible to introduce a different list. In earlier releases of X11 (prior to the introduction of Xcms), server implementors were encouraged to modify the RGB values in the reference color database to account for gamma correction.
The list first shipped with X10 release 3 (X10R3) on 7 June 1986, having been checked into RCS by Jim Gettys in 1985. The same list was in X11R1 on 18 September 1987. Approximately the full list as is available today shipped with X11R4 on 29 January 1989, with substantial additions by Paul Ravelling (who added colors based on Sinclair Paints samples), John C. Thomas (who added colors based on a set of 72 Crayola crayons he had on hand) and Jim Fulton (who reconciled contributions to produce the X11R4 list). The project was running DEC VT240 terminals at the time, so would have worked to that device. As of X.Org Release 7.4 rgb.txt is no longer included in the roll up release, and the list is built directly into the server. The optional module xorg/app/rgb contains the stand-alone rgb.txt file.

Just a demo of using GFX's nearest matching capabilities and HSV color model support to do a color picker with named colors.
Most of the x11 colors that python can produce. Uses John Zelle's free python graphics package. Some colors below (youtube won't allow all.) colors = ['Snow1','snow2','snow3','snow4', 'Honeydew1','honeydew2','honeydew3','honeydew4', 'Azure1','azure2','azure3','azure4', 'Seashell1','seashell2','seashell3','seashell4', 'Beige','Oldlace','Floralwhite','Linen', 'Ivory1','ivory2','ivory3','ivory4', 'AntiqueWhite1','AntiqueWhite2','AntiqueWhite3','AntiqueWhite4', 'LavenderBlush1','LavenderBlush2','LavenderBlush3','LavenderBlush4', 'MistyRose1','MistyRose2','MistyRose3','MistyRose4', #Red Colors 'IndianRed1','IndianRed2','IndianRed3','IndianRed4', 'Salmon1','salmon2','salmon3','salmon4', ...
Use CSS color names to quickly set hex values in Figma! #figma #figmatips #designtips #css #csscolors
Web colors are colors used in designing web pages, and the methods for describing and specifying those colors. Colors may be specified as an RGB triplet or in hexadecimal format (a hex triplet). They may also be specified according to their common English names in some cases. Often a color tool or other graphics software is used to generate color values. In some uses, hexadecimal color codes are specified with notation using a leading number sign (#). A color is specified according to the intensity of its red, green and blue components, each represented by eight bits. Thus, there are 24 bits used to specify a web color, and 16,777,216 colors that may be so specified. The first versions of Mosaic and Netscape Navigator used the X11 color names as the basis for their color lists, as both sta...
PURPLE X11 color (Hex #A020F0). Among the many uses it may have, we would like to emphasize the ability of checking the true color and as a color background (wallpaper) for your device. An alternative use is as lighting. To light up your space with the color you like the most. Finally you can use it as a mood light, more specifically a mood led light.

Color names are a sort of easter egg of CSS. When we go to plug in styles, most of us already have specific, brand-related hex values that we use, but these 147 colors lay in wait for someone to call them by name and make use of their built-in capabilities. (Mintcream, Navajo White, Blanched Almond) This talk will survey the built-in palette of CSS colors but go further to explore their origins and the implications. Who names them? What is their ancestral lineage? How does a color get added and who decides when to add (for this we will take a look at the case study of Becca Purple) What is the cut-off? Furthermore, what do these colors and names reveal about biases inherent within CSS? AINSLEY WAGONER Ainsley Wagoner is a Visual UX designer in San Francisco and 2014 Code for America Fel...
