An anomaly in the table above is that HTML Gray is darker than DarkGray.
The color names of HTML / CSS was inherited from the X11 standard.
HTML / CSS defined gray at the midpoint of the 8-bit gray scale (128,128,128).
X11 defined gray to be (190,190,190); which is closer to HTML silver.
Gray / Grey Web Colors
There are several gray color names in HTML / CSS.
All gray colors are spelled as gray (not grey).
This spelling was inherited from the X11 standard.
All modern browsers accept both gray and grey, but early versions of Internet Explorer did not recognize grey

16 Million Different Colors
The combination of Red, Green and Blue values from 0 to 255 gives a total of more than 16 million different colors to play with (256 x 256 x 256).
Most modern monitors are capable of displaying at least 16384 different colors.
Web Safe Colors?
Many years ago, when computers supported maximum 256 different colors, a list of 216 «Web Safe Colors» was suggested as a Web standard (reserving 40 fixed system colors).
This is not important now, since most computers can display millions of different colors.
This 216 hex values cross-browser color palette was created to ensure that all computers would display the colors correctly when running a 256 color palette:

CSS Colors
CSS supports 140+ color names, HEX values, RGB values, RGBA values, HSL values, HSLA values, and opacity.
RGBA Colors
RGBA color values are an extension of RGB color values with an alpha channel — which specifies the opacity for a color.
An RGBA color value is specified with: rgba(red, green, blue, alpha). The alpha parameter is a number between 0.0 (fully transparent) and 1.0 (fully opaque).
The following example defines different RGBA colors:
Example
HSL Colors
HSL stands for Hue, Saturation and Lightness.
An HSL color value is specified with: hsl(hue, saturation, lightness).
- Hue is a degree on the color wheel (from 0 to 360):
- 0 (or 360) is red
- 120 is green
- 240 is blue
- Saturation is a percentage value: 100% is the full color.
- Lightness is also a percentage; 0% is dark (black) and 100% is white.
The following example defines different HSL colors:
Example
HSLA Colors
HSLA color values are an extension of HSL color values with an alpha channel — which specifies the opacity for a color.
An HSLA color value is specified with: hsla(hue, saturation, lightness, alpha), where the alpha parameter defines the opacity. The alpha parameter is a number between 0.0 (fully transparent) and 1.0 (fully opaque).
The following example defines different HSLA colors:
Example
Opacity
The CSS opacity property sets the opacity for the whole element (both background color and text will be opaque/transparent).
The opacity property value must be a number between 0.0 (fully transparent) and 1.0 (fully opaque).
Notice that the text above will also be transparent/opaque!
The following example shows different elements with opacity:
