.
X color names
X11 color names offer a wider choice than CSS names. They come in several variants:
- Any name that is spelled as a single word with capitalization (e.g., ‘LightSlateBlue’) can also be spelled as space-separated words with or without capitalization (e.g., ‘light slate blue’).
- The word ‘grey’ can always be spelled ‘gray’ (e.g., ‘DarkSlateGray’), without any difference in the output.
- Some names can take a numerical suffix (e.g., ‘LightSalmon4’).
The following tables present all color names that may be used without a numerical suffix, and then the subset of these that may be used with such a suffix.
