To specify a color in HTML, use the RGB triplet or color name. RGB triplets work in most browsers. So, as an example, to put an Aliceblue background on a page, you'd use this tag:
<BODY BGCOLOR=#F0F8FF>
Use the Decimal number in ActiveX controls and Java applets that require decimal numbers. You can also test pairs of colors and mix your own colors from this page.
