You're welcome.

I compiled that list from several sources after being completely annoyed at 
the lack of a comprehensive (or at least really extensive) listing in an 
easy-reference format.

W3C was the major source material, yes.


Oh, and if you think code references are hard to come by, try getting an 
official list of the colors (hex/rgb).  I made a listing at

http://tntluoma.com/sidebars/triplecolors/

based on

http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-color/

which refers to [X11COLORS] Robert B. Hess. Colors By Name. MSDN Online Web 
Workshop. 02 November 1996. URL:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/design/color/x11_names.asp--BUT don't 
try to follow that URL because it's 404 (Microsoft just loves to move stuff 
around all the time.  The new URL is

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnwebgen/html/X11_names.asp

but when you go there notice that it says:

"The table below provides a list of the X11 colors supported by Microsoft 
Internet Explorer 3.0 and Netscape Navigator." (This is from November 22, 
1996).


So nowhere does it really give you as good of a list as I'd like.  I know 
there are many more supported colors than are shown on the triplecolors 
page, but I don't know what they all are, and since there is no official 
list, how could we say if a browser was ever wrong?

Argh
