Use either hex numbers or r,g,b ones for colors, epecially those with
complex names. Name colors did not always work the same in the browser
war era, and some of them may well not today also. There likely was
never official standardization of many name colors by the W3C, and
these days this would not be very practical, as millions of colors now
are possible on modern browsers. You may have to experiment to get the
numbers for the shade of color you wish. There are various color charts
out there with numbers given, so you likely can get close to a color
and then just have to adjust it a bit. Some find r,g,b colors easier to
use for fine adjustments than hex ones, although hex ones are no more
difficult if you get used to counting in a hex number system.
