Ms. Castro has a chart in her HTML 4 for the World Wide Web, 4th Edition showing "The Sixteen Predefined Colors." These colors can be used as background, text, or link colors by just typing their names into your tags.

The Sixteen Predefined Colors
Silver	Gray	Maroon	Green
Navy	Purple	Olive	Teal
White	Black	Red	Lime
Blue	Magenta	Yellow	Cyan

Four more defined colors - discovered by changing my background color
Orange	Tan	Pink	Gold

My background tag reads < body bgcolor="beige">. So there's another defined background color. How many more can you find?

Email me with your discoveries.
