Yes Philip, Instead of using the hexadecimal value #0f0, one can also use the keyword lime (as in background: lime). Also green as a pigment and as a CSS keyword color would be closer the div.hex-090. The precise hexadecimal value is #080. The only colors that are the same as the pigment color is red, yellow, white and black. The pigment Orange is midway between yellow and red, the pigment violet is roughly midway between white / black, red and fuchsia and the pigment blue is midway between white / black and blue. The colors of the rainbow are in slightly different positions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Colorcircle.png -- Alan http://css-class.com/ Armies Cannot Stop An Idea Whose Time Has Come. - Victor Hugo ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
