This page does not use the background pattern matching my other pages so that I may make use of the background color property (document.bgColor) of javascript. You must have javascript enabled to make use of this page.
The 16 "browser safe" colors: Move your mouse over the dot at the beginning of any line to change the background to the named color and see what text of the other colors would look like on it. Do not click on the dot.
You pick the colors: Enter your desired colors into the boxes below and select "Set Color" to display them. You may specify your colors directly (ex: pink), as a six-digit hexadecimal RGB code (ex: #99ccff), as a period-separated decimal RGB string (ex: 153.204.255), or as a composite number (ex: 10079487). Color codes entered in separated-decimal or composite format will be echoed back in hexadecimal.
The 256 "non-dithering" colors: Use the dots in the first section or the RGB/name code in the second section to view these colors on different colored backgrounds.
