Can't you just get the html code from colour selectors like Photoshop?

I believe this sort of thing has become dated, has it not?
In times past, everybody had 8-bit screens. Colors would dither to approximate what the web page spec'd. Clients didn't like dithering. Color charts were created showing which colors would not dither.
Today, everybody has millions of color on their monitors. Nothing dithers. If you spec an RGB value of 100,215,5 that will be what the web user will be seeing (roughly).
Without my sense of direction, I don't know where I'd be.
I usually just pick the colors from a swatch in photoshop, but it's easier if you know the codes for the exact color you want, so this is still helpful.
Alrighty then! Cool.

My favourite part of this listing is the "common name" listing. I found it because I was looking for the RGB value for "gold". Although picking something yellowish brown is just as good, it's nice to have a resource that let's you know; "Yes, you're in the right range."
I also work with Fashion clients who seem to prefer using "Lemon Chiffon" to "Pantone X".
These are not strictly "web colours", as can be seen by colours like "#8B7500". The old websafe colours had to be something like "#BB7700".

Its kind of for a different purpose, but I find it useful.

Hope you do too.
Thanks, great Link...
But do they have the CMYK value for "Business Blue"??? A Client asked me to make a color more .. "Business Blue", so I would love to know where that color is on the list.
Business Blue, heh?

That's the BBB's blue (sort of greenish), but you can't get more business than BBB, right?
Try the IBM logo.

lol. nice.. i guess my client wanted it darker, but instead of saying, can you make the blue darker, she said... "can you make it more.... Business Blue?" i asked her to explain... lol.
